Default jks track bar

just installed this track bar and now when the front of my jeep rises the steering wheel turns one way and when the front of the jeep lowers like when breaking the steering wheel goes the other way.

I have the rear , no probs outta it. But one member who had got one on here had a video of a front one flexing when he turned the steering wheel. If that bar is flexing, could be your problem.

How much and what kind of lift do you have?

Make sure that your axle mount looks like this



I do not have the issue you describe but hopefully this helps.

i have a 4 in lift but i think i have figured it out. now i have a slightly longer track bar because it mounts in the stock locations. i have a stock drag link that mounts on a drop pitman arm so it is shorter and lower then the track bar. solution, go back to original pitman arm and build drag link with hiem joins that mount the same height as the track bar and the same length as the track bar.
