Going from oem track bar to adjustable?
He guy before me put a 4in lift and never switched over to an adjustable track bar. So I'm doing it now and I've removed the track bar but can not get the axle to realign. Obv. The axle is pushed over to the drivers side and tire is sticking way out. I've tried ratcheting it over with a tie down.. Nothing. Tried pushing the passenger side over.. Nothing. I guess I could turn the wheel and have someone hold it while I bolt it up but then my steering wheels all fudged up. So let me know some ideas please!! And thanks u!

turn the steering wheel.. It's ok if the steering wheel is out of whack after the instal.. That would be normal since you are changing the alignment. Resetting the alignemnet in part of changing the Trackbar and any other suspension and steering component for that matter. Scroll down the list for Alignment writeup. http://www.go.jeep-xj.info/index.htm
