Track Bar ?

Sometimes if you turn your steering wheel it will line the axle up with the trackbar bolt holes... Nick

Leave it off. Your Jeep will flex better offroad, and the ride is less harsh onroad. I finally pulled mine off last weekend, and the difference is nothing short of amazing.

Ditto. I've had mine off for 13 years without a problem. Jim

Jim. On your YJ or your Waggy? My Waggy is bone stock right now, but I plan on starting mods soon. I want it to be a competent trail vehicle as well as a daily driver.

My YJ track bars have been removed. Jim

I got it back in....and its the rear track bar! I just used a jack to lift one side....causing the bar to move over. I should have figured that out the other night....but with humidity so damn high, no wind and 90 degree temps...I get a lil bent lol.

I just removed my rear almost 7 yrs ago (snapped the axle side mount on a trail. Havent had it back on since, have had the front track bar off for the past 4 yrs, dont notice any difference at all on road.. the axle is located by the leafsprings anyhow.

I wonder sometimes why a leaf-sprung axle needs a track bar...there's one on the front axle of my '02 Ford Superduty as well, maybe it has do do with the softness of the stock springs...a more compliant spring may exhibit more lateral movement.

I donno...I was able to make mine move quite a bit (probably 1/2 inch either way). I can see where a lifted rig on the trail could be hindered by it......but on pavement going around corners would be a different story.
