X2. You need a new track bar mount welded on to the axle to make it higher and parallel to the draglink

Here you go. Also ask seriousoffroad about some new tie rod end spacers. They help make the steering responsive, but I can't find a link for just the spacers. JCR has some that would work, but have had both and I like the material serious uses more.

This is what the steering/track bar should look like.

I have a vacuum disconnect axle I swapped into my 2000. (Because 4.10 gearing). I was asking where to find an over the axle track bar bracket that works with this axle

So can getting just another track bar and frame mount solve it?
Or do I have to get the new axle mount?
Cause I am on a really tight budget and I would have to wait about 2 months to get it welded.

You need an OTA track bar bracket or deal with the bump steer.

No, you will need to modify the one you have now or make a new one. Neither is hard nor expensive, if you have a welder

Update on this just incase someone else has this problem
It was a bad tie rod end even though the entire steering was replaced 4 months ago and I have not wheeled since then. Gave me a dead spot.

I am replacing the track bar but not doing the over axle mount.

I know you said you found the problem and this may be a stupid question but did you check your PS fluid? Mine acted like yours when my fluid was leaking and got low before changing the leaky high pressure hose.

It's gonna continue to have bumpstear till the track bar and drag link are made parallel. Why go through all the effort and money of otk to end up with worse steering ?
