What did you do to your TJ today?

The LED indicators in the switches - even the stock one - could be a bit brighter, but they'll do and they work well.

Today I removed my rear axle, now I have to order the brackets in the USA because I can't find them anywhere in Germany. Now it's time to wait for parts again, Patience is not my strength

Well done. Don't think I've seen that before.

Attempting to fix my boat-like ride, I’m replacing everything with bad bushings. Today, I replaced the sway bar end links. I’m still driving a boat, but no more clunks.

 

[Midtenn]

I need my wife or someone to help me with the steering test. I think that's the only way I can fully diagnose the boat like ride. It really feels like when you are in a small boat with waves. It goes up and down and then side to side a little. It doesn't pull, but you have to be on it to keep it steady.

OEM pitman arm?

OEM pitman arm?

I don’t know exactly. This one says Rough Country so it’s been replaced. I’ve attached some pictures of what I think could be relevant.

 

[Midtenn]

I do not know why my pictures are sideways. I apologize for that.

Last time this pitman arm thing came up, I think someone said mine is dropped but it is okay because there is a bracket for it to be dropped?

That is a drooped pitman arm. I'd take that off, replace it with a OEM one, and toss it in the trash.

For $50 I'd try the OEM part. Can the drop bracket easily be removed?

What about that other bracket I supposedly have to make the dropped pitman arm be okay? Do I remove that too? What does it look like?

 

[Midtenn]

I don't know what the bracket is in the picture, I just know someone said I have one...still a newb. :/

If you can take a photo of the trackbar.

 

[Midtenn]

If you can take a photo of the axle side of the trackbar. OEM looks like this. ( with only one hole on the lower section)

Looks fairly easy to remove. If it was me I'd replace it. Worse case it doesn't fix anything but the jeep will be properly set up.

So this was an additional part, not a replacement part? Remove both pieces and I should be good to go?

More googling indicates in may be my tire pressure. I checked and mine were at ~32. I looked around and it appears the suggested PSI is ~26 for 35x12.5R15 tires.

Looks good enough for me.

Seems like I need to remove that and then get the OEM one and I'm good to go. Thanks!
