I’m finishing up the last of my suspension mods and finally got the rear track bar installed. Got it leveled off on the ground under its own weight to find out I’m off on my adjustment. I put a piece of angle across the tire and it measure 4.25” to the frame on the right and 3.25” on the left.
That would mean I need to push the axle 1/2” to the left… which means extending the Johnny Joint out of the bar further. It’s already maxed out at my safe zone of 1” thread engagement in the bar and I need another 1/2” out of it. Can I be the only person this is happening to?
The welds around the original track bar bracket look like garbage which makes me think it was welded back on in the wrong position at some point in its life.
The Johnny joint used in the track bar is linked below.
