Does this look too close? The sway bar link is no more than 1/8 to 1/4 inch from touching the coil link.





and i think my teraflex front adj. track bar is installed backwards. I looked at install sheet from there website and mine is not installed like they say it should be. Does anyone think this will present a problem?

Your trac bar does appear to be backwards. The bend goes in front of the diff. As for the sway links, you are not the first to have that issue, but i haven't paid attention so i don't know the answer. Mine does not look like that though. As long as there is clearance i think you are ok.

Your front axle is rotated too far forward, causing the coil to bow out. If you have adjustable links, you can easily fix this.

Thanks everyone for the input. Ok, so if my front axle is rotated too far forward would this create too much negative castor? I did have the full set of teraflex adj. control arms installed also and they were supposed to have done an alignment. However, the spec sheet they gave me from the alignment shows my castor is negative and everything i've seen says it should be 4.5 degrees or even higher for lifted jk. Also, my rear axle has shifted over to the passenger side by what looks like about 1/4 to 1/2 inch. This is crazy b/c i had them put on adj. track bar too so lining the axle up should have been a no brainer. And back to the front again... the driver's side front coil is straight and not bowed out like the pic of the passenger side and the sway bar is more away from the coil. It's just the passenger side that is so close. I guess i need to have them adj. all my control arms again and fix the track bars... Does that sound like the fix for my problems?

You my friend need to find a new shop if they did that poorly of aligning and setting up your rig.
