That wishy washy, loosy goosey sensation when driving and turning on bumpy roads is completely gone.

I did the lower controls arms too but didn't notice any improvements and I'll continue with the entire upgrade but I can't believe how much improvement came from just those two track bar bolts.

Took me three hours but it was well worth it.

Don't forget to re-torque everything after a few hundred miles

9/16" as opposed to the 14mm they give us. Northeridge sells a kit that has what you need- proper lengths and such.

if you have a 2012 and newer use a M14-2.0 x 80mm Grade 10.9 bolt (2012+ Front Frame Side Track Bar Bracket)on the frame side. check your local hardware store for them.
