My drivers side rear shock is coming into contact with the Teraflex trackbar relocation bracket. Damage seems to only happen offroad. Has anyone else experienced this issue? I'll probably try to relocate the rear shock mount, but this looks like a minor design flaw when using this relocation bracket & wanted some more insight from others.

Btw, in the pic I moved the reservoir mount UP a little since it was rubbing against the trackbar bolt as well.

 

I did an adjustable track bar for this very reason. You also need to be concerned with the excess leverage the relocation bracket places on the OEM mount. I don't of any first hand, but I have heard of them eventually cracking or breaking from the axle.

 

I have a rear adj trackbar, but the stock axle mount is weak -- that's why I installed the relocation mount when I lifted, and also it's welded on. Pretty strong mount now. I'm just surprised this mount hits the rear shock when flexing. I couldn't find any info on Teraflex's website or JKF for anyone coming across this issue with the trackbar mount, so I was curious. I can't be the only one, can I?

 

Actually, rear track bar brackets that weld and/or wrap around the axle via a c clamp take the stress off the crappy stock mount. A buddy has had his adjustable rear track bar on a stock mount and the mount has broken off twice. An adjustable track bar and brace or raised mount are fine together.

 

Like everything else we see in web land. Two sides of everything. Best of luck with a fix. Perhaps shock relocation bracket???

 

I did a comparo of yours and my AEV bracket to see a difference. I was wondering if your bracket is rotated back too much? Dunno

 

That's what I think my next step will be.

 

It looks like your relo bracket sits directly above the stock one. The teraflex bracket mounts against (and above) the stock one... obviously more rearward.
