track bar hitting pumpkin
ok so today I started to hear some clunking in my front end, and I noticed a spot on the pumpkin where there is a wear spot from the track bar. I havent changed my suspension recently so I dont know why its doing it. I am lifted about 4" with stock bumpstops, but I am running 33's and this is happening on the street so I am not flexing much at all. I dont see any other wear spots, but my sway bar is pretty close to my coils but i dont think it is from that. is this a common problem with a rustys track bar? just strange that I just started having this problem when ive had this suspension so a couple of months.....
setup: V8 CG coils, 1.5" spacer, skyjacker 7000 shocks, 33x12.5 tires, rustys track bar. stock bumpstops and control arms.

You might need some adjustable lower control arms, to push your axle forward and center it better. With the stock arms over 3" of lift your axle is pulled back which could be pulling the trackbar at an angle, thus causing it to contact the diff?
