Broken rear track bar mount!
Hey all, so I was driving home from work tonight and noticed a very funny fish tailing sensation.... Ice I figured, but no ice! Got on the highway and then on the off ramp heard an unusual noise... Time to inspect, found the rear track bar mount to be broken! Got it home and to a welder at a buddy's house to patch it till I have some free time to make a stouter mount. Not sure if anyone has had this problem before.... But I want to warn people with similar set-ups as me. I have the black diamond 3 inch lift and the relocation bracket for the rear track bar. The extra leverage on the stock mount on the axle was just pushed and pulled one to many times.

This has been a problem since the fist axle side track bar relocation bracket has been around. I have seen several home brew fixes with extra support as well as a weld on support made by JKS.

TeraFlex rear track bar bracket, axle side install
JKS vs Teraflex trackbar brackets

Fixed my rear TrackBar bracket permanantly!!
This is all I could find right now. I couldn't find any of the home repair and support projects.

Superlift makes a really nice and very strong rear track bar reinforcement! It is available separately and is weld-on AND bolt-on ... very stout piece!
It's in the first link above - that's a great idea of making a skid plate to finish it off ... I'll be doing that to mine as well!! Nice fabrication!

Moab 4x4 outpost makes a gusset kit that will work with that setup. If you can weld this is a great kit and only $49. I've had this kit on mine for 2 years and everything is holding great.
