have the dealer come pic it up on a roll back and fix it, tell them to read the directions next time.
edit: does anyone have a pic of the track bar relocator correctly mouted?

When I sent my wife the info a few months back I was under the impression that it would have the relocation bracket for the rear but I didn't see the kit and don't know if it was there or not.


What should go in the front then? I think I remember reading that the factory rear bracket moved to the front and the rear should be a new bracket? right/wrong?
the sway bar links move not the track bars, the sway bar links connect the sway bar to the axle. the track bar connect the axle to the frame/ chassis

exactly, the 2 factory rear sway bar links move up front and you need to install the 2 new links in the rear - NOT the track bar

Thanks guys. I appreciate you all looking at this for me. I couldn't remember for sure about the trackbar brackets but thanks for setting me straight.

So the opinion is that I should not drive this jeep until I get it fixed. Have them tow it and fix it? It would be like a thirty mile trip out there...

THANKS AGAIN

anybody know where an online instruction is for this. One that would show pictures of where these brackets go so they get it right this time? I have looked around but don't really know what I am looking at.
