You talking about the bushing at the frame or the axle?? With our aftermarket trackbars, would it still be the stock size bushing? Where did you get yours (is what I'm basically after. LoL!)?
Dude...the tires better be balanced. They were computer matched as of Saturday at noon. Besides, this is an issue I've been dealing with for over 8 months, it's just more noticeable now with the added tire size.
....Still trying to fix my "pull to the left" issue
Readjusted Caster last night, must not have done enough. Will try Caster Version 3.7b(4)d tonight.

Interesting water crossing

So I've had the jeep for a little over a year now, put around 14k miles on it... When do I need to change the differential fluid? I think I'm at around 43k miles total, but I have no clue what the service record was from the previous owner.
Also, I've had the new tires on for around 1500 miles and want to rotate the spare in to the line up. Is this going to cause any issues considering the increased tread size of the unused tire?

Am I missing something here about the Seafoam...???
Also, I would look at replacing the bolt on the frame side of the trackbar. If the bolt has been torqued "too" many times, the thread are stretched and will not hold a proper torque. At Mercedes we could only re-torque a bolt 3 times with a torque over 100ft-lb.
A stretched bolt will torque correctly and seem fine and then become loose over time. It has to do with pitch and surface area on the bolt.
