Trackbar problems
If they torqued that trackbar to 125 ft lbs while it was sitting on the ground. No way it should be wiggled by hand, unless the bushing crapped out. TF leveling kits haven't been out that long, K9, how many miles you got on that kit?
About 20 miles. Problems have persisted since Mondays install. So nothing worked itself loose. They just didn't bother tightening it. And I still don't know why you'd need to loosen it to put on spacers....
It makes it alot easier to drop the axle by undoing the track bar at the axle. Although people have done them without unbolting them. Sway bar links, shocks and track bars frt and rear were the only bolts they had to mess with. Not that many to remember, and to forget the track bar is totally assinine.
Are you sure that they did an alignment on your Jeep after installing the spacers. The reason I ask is that there is no reason for them to do an alignment if all they did is install spacers (from what I have read on this forum). Did they charge you an additional fee for that? If so, along with the other problems you cited, they took advantage of you.
I am not sure where you get your information, however, it is absolutely not necessary to have an alignment done after a spacer lift. I know the difference between a body lift and a suspension lift. Something as minimal as a spacer lift will have no effect on your alignment, but rather on the positioning of your axle. It will shift the axle (to the right in the rear and the left in the front) to which you need an adjustable track bar, or drop down bracket to correct, however, unless they adjusted your control arms, the alignment was not necessary.
that sucks man. Im surprised you only noticed when you looked, a rear track bar that loose could cause the whole jeep to shake in the rear or even cause death wobble.
The track bar ends need to be tightened to 125 ft lbs. Use a torque wrench for this with an extension.
Also, tell me something... What kind of jokes did you tell to get your track bar to giggle so much?
