I have a jks trackbar with the tie rod style end on the frame end. Does anyone know off hand what kind of replacement end I need for that? I want to swap the end to hold me over so I can afford new crossover steering now. I know I'll need a double shear setup on the tie rod evwntually.

What is the model number of the Trackbar?
I have them on my site but I'm a little confused as to what you're after.

How about some pics?

Sure. It's this



This is the end I'm asking about



I don't even know that there's anything wrong with it, I'm just trying to find the cause of my wobble. I am considering a zj tie rod and double shear track bar to hold me over until I can get a 1 ton otk setup. I just cant afford a track bar and steering setup at the same time. Any suggestions?

Have someone turn your steering wheel rapidly from side to side while you look at, feel and listen to all of the joints related to your steering system.

There so many things off looking with that picture. First it looks backwards. Second you need a double sheet mount. I hope you're not driving it like that

SeriousOffroad

It is not backwards.

For real. Jks does their adjustable end on axle side? I learned something new. But is that mounted correct on the frame side?

SeriousOffroad

Yes & Yes.

Well thank you. Learned something new. In running the iro one so I made the mistake of comparing them in design wise

I had a guy at work move the steering wheel back and forth and if there's any play in the trackbar its tiny. The only thing I could see was the steering box moving a little as the uniframe twists. Its just that when I drive and it starts wobbling, I can look out the window and see the wheel wiggling back and forth. I think I need to stiffen the steering box and beef up the steering. The guy wasn't real patient. I need someone to wiggle it back and forth for a while.

That track bar was on the Jeep when I got it along with an OME 2" or so lift. Is there a number on the trackbar I can look for? I assume it the 3" lift one. The angle at the frame side looks kind of bad to me but I guess if I do an OTK setup then the over the axle bracket will fix my track bar angle.

I think I should brace the box first. I will use the Boostwerks brace. I really wanted to wait for their Comp mount to come out but I don't think its ever going to and I can't wait any more. I'm going to start cracking my frame if I don't do something about it.
