Question 1
I have a Jks front adjustable trac bar.
Issue I feel it is still to "soft" from what I have found it uses "factory type " brushings.
I appeared to have same compression as factory, and reason for repaying factory was good old death wobble...

Does anyone know if this is true, and if they do can just the bushings be replaced with something better.

Question 2
If the Jks bushing can't be replaced. Should I go with the rock Krawler front trac at $150 or the terra flex at $250.

Does anyone one know if these bushings hold up and are "stiffer" than Jks or stock?

Thanks

 

I had death wobble, so i went with the JKS adjustable track bar years ago. It helped, but did not solve the problem. Last week i put in new Alloy USA 4140 chromolly ball joint. Helped big time, but still has issues.

My next step is the JKS sector shaft reinforcement kit.

Have a friend start your jeep and wiggle the wheel back and forth. Get up on the tire or bumper so you can see down to the steering box. I will bet it is flexing. IMO this is the major issue with the jk death wobble. And once it starts, it can wreck a lot of other stuff.

 

Before they put that as a kit, you could buy the frame brace separate..... Already have it... So that is why I'm now looking at bushing being soft.

I have done everything but replace ball joints on this thing, and had in shop and ball joints checked out ok by three other opinions... No wallowing... I even "up sized" the bolt so positively no slop in bolt....

Leads me to have to believe its the softness of bushing.

Have you put in the "BOLT KIT" from Northridge?

I did and it made a huge difference.


My only issue with the Rock Krawler product is the Customer Service is terrible. Spare parts can take 2 weeks to get, so beware.
