After looking over the Jeep this morning post wheeling trip I noticed I finally got the rear drive shaft weeps. Thank goodness my new one will be here any day now from Northridge4x4. Also I noticed my trac bar is loose at the end that is adjustable. I guess I will be ordering one of them now. Finally, which is my biggest concern, I noticed some seapage at the pitman arm. Is this something I should be concerned about.

DS definately toast, pitman doesn't look too bad as long as it's not dripping. What tracbar is that? Kinda looks like a hack weld job on a jamnut to keep it from loosening

 

It is Rusty's. There has been many problems with this company as I am slowly finding out. This was there 2nd generation tracbar cause there first was even crappier than this one.

 

What keps that collar from loosening?? IMO take that pos off, get something better. I have a TF moster front and rear, they're stout as hell and easy to adjust.

 

Its coming off as soon as I get a little cash to buy a new one. how long you think that RDS will last before anything major occurs. Is it ok to run back and forth to work for a little bit. 25 miles round trip.

 

Pics of the TF bar before I got the drag/flip kit. The only thing it would hit some on the RC dual center mount that bolts to the axle off-road. Everything else cleared fine. With a single stab, no issues whatsoever.





The comparison pic was against the Superlift trackbar, The monster weighs twice as much as it.

 

If it's loose were those threads are, I'd have someone weld it where the threads are and make a temp solid track bar till you can get another one.
You absolutely DO NOT want it coming apart at highway speeds especially. Have a welder look at it, show him where the movement is and have him bead it up. Prolly charge you $20-$40

 

How much use did you get out of that drive shaft before it began to leak?

 

Think he put the lift on in July 09, so he's had it on about a year and 4mo's.

 

Damn MKJEEP, you are right on. Have you been stalking my Jeep.
