    Hard pop after turning

    Mine was making a very similar noise in the rear when I was in a turn going up or down a hill. After reading on here and checking the angle I ended up ordering adjustable end links. Some felt the angle (mine was 18 degrees) didn't matter and others did. I wanted the pop gone so I ordered them...

    WM was the cheapest I found for a spare key, it was $40 IIRC.

    Poll: What Color TJ Do You Own?

    I like the orange. You don't see them too often.

    JKS front adjustable trackbar issue

    I dropped the track bar and re-installed as it was naturally sitting. I had to adjust it a little. The bolt is now perfectly centered. I may have ratcheted it tad too much initially. My mind can now be at ease. Thanks for your replies.

    JKS front adjustable trackbar issue

    The axle is now centered. As I mentioned earlier I had to use a ratchet strap to get it to line up correctly. I did do a dry steering test when I was chasing some wandering. I was looking for slop in the joints. Everything looked ok but I may have missed something. I know I didn’t pay attention...

    JKS front adjustable trackbar issue

    I did replace the drag link with the DS1430. It isn't really pulling but something just seems a tad off. Im re-thinking all I did (2" OME Lift), checked the toe in and even ordered the toe in plates to confirm when I set the toe in using 4' levels. The steering seemed much better once I went...

    JKS front adjustable trackbar issue

    I guess I'll resurrect this thread as my front track bar doesn't pass the eye test and it has bothered me. I too did the ZJ upgrade and this thread has shed some light on what to possibly look for. To the OP did your track bar look "bound" like mine does in the pics below? I looked at my drag...

    TJ vibration at idle

    I don't have much to offer but was reading the forum earlier and ran across this build. I got busy and didn't read much after this but it may help. https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/midnight-ljr-build.22795/post-430318

    Body Armor rock sliders/side steps

    Glad I found this thread. I was thinking about ordering them myself as I pre-maturely took the factory ones off mine the other day. I should've waited till I had a replacement in. Anyhoo, I saw this review at the bottom of page and it worried me a tad but it appears they can install without...
