I'll apologize in advance for not having pics as its dark out right now, so ill get them in the morning.

So anyway today I noticed while under the rear end of my jeep my rear adjustable JKS trackbar has allot of play right where the threaded rod end meets the tube end of the trackbar. Somehow the jam nut had worked its way loose and I was unable to tighten it all the way back down on the tube end of the trackbar. So im assuming this thing is shot.

Also, its probably unrelated to my problem but the threaded rod end is completely covered in rust, but on my front adj trackbar the zinc coating has still held up, don't know why this would be.

I'll have to get some video of me wiggling it tomorrow

Question is, will JKS replace this for me or do I need to buy a new one?

Ill shoot them an email as well but I just wanted to see if any of you had any idea.

 

maybe the slop stripped some threads. I'd get some pics of it taken apart or the damage may be apparent once taken apart.

 

If they don't do anything for u, I have a rear jks trackbar that I will sell u fairly cheap. It was in my jk for about a year. Its still in great shape.

 

thanks man ill keep that in mind, gonna pull mine off tomorrow and check it out

 

Same thing happened to me rusty's rear track bar

 

Just so you know if you have a part with a jam nut it must be tight.

If the jam nut is loose for any length of time it will "wollow" out the threads and creating slop.

If you give JKS a call I am sure they will help you out in some way

For everybody if you have anyting with a Jam nut ie. Control arms, Trackbars ect the Jam nut must be tight or the threads will fail over time.
