Default NEED HELP!!! (track bar, steering problems)

I have an 09 wrangler sahara. i put a 2.5 inch lift on it and threw on some 22" rockstar rims. My rear track bar brace has just recently bent so the frame is a little off from the axle. is it safe to drive on until i get it fixed? why did the brace on the axle end bend to start off with? the front one also snapped off at one point but i had it re welded. Do i get stronger track bars and braces? as you can see i dont no much about this stuff but i NEED HElP! im sick of sending it in the shop

It bent just from everyday driving, with the occasional off roading with the buddies, which might have done it... not sure. i just looked at it last week and saw the problem and i think i taking to are local welding place and im ganna have them reinforce it.

Not exactly sure what is bent and by how much, but you really should get this fixed if it looks like it may come off, as soon as possible whether rewelded/gusseted stock and or new stronger bolt-on bracket.

This may help you out.
