Just a newb question about track bars....

How does having an aftermarket adjustable front track bar help prevent Death Wobble?....or does it? I have heard that the stock track bar set-up uses the wrong size bolts and the mount can get wallowed out. Does this mean that all the aftermarket ones use the correct size hardware right from the start? Or will I still need to be concerned about my stock track bar mount causing problems at some point down the road?

 

it doesn't. making sure that your trackbar bolts are tightened to the proper torque setting, making sure the bushings are in good condition and making sure that other suspension components such as your ball joints are still in good shape is the only thing that will prevent dw

 

I have the JKS adjustable trackbar, and it uses the original bolts... no new hardware!

 

Most of the bolts on my Jeep are rusted over. I had a mechanic tell me that the rust helps to sieze the bolts in place preventing them from loosening up....kinda like nature's own lock-tite. Should I still put a torque wrench on the bolts every so often anyways?

 

I would... mine was rusted over also, and before I put the lift on, I torqued everything up and they definitely needed it! The rust didn't help much.

 

You can change out the factory bolts to avoid any issues with the factory hardware. Check out this thread: https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/show...trol-arm-bolts
