Santa (wife) was good to me. Received the NR4X4 bolt upgrade kit and installed with the help of my son within 4 hours of work time. No issues or noted wear on front track bar from stock bolts, but the new grade 8 bolts were a much better fit. Glad to have this done, and have peace of mind that it is right.

A general question on this....
Since the bolts are a known issue and resolution....
Do after market trackbar kits have the correct bolts?
or...
If getting an aftermarket trackbar,
does one also need to buy the bolt kit additionally?

Most kits reuse factory hardware where possible.

I am looking at the kit that came yesterday and have a question about it. According to the piece of paper that came with the kit, since my jeep is a 2012 it has to use 14mm bolts that are included in the kit. This is necessary because the 9/16 bolts are too wide...... My question is this.. There are only 2 14mm bolts. If the track bar bolts need to be 14mm, wouldn't I need 4? It is too early right now to call northridge because they are in Washington and I am in bama.....

Does anybody know which Mount of the trackbar needs to have the 14mm bolt in it?

Any thoughts?

Thanks for your help.

One on the drivers side front for sure on an 11 and 12 model. The rear I can't remember, but there is no mistaking, the 9/16 bolt either goes in easy or gets hung on the shoulder. Don't force anything on the trackbars. The control arms could use some manipulating.

Ok thanks for the info.
