Getting ready for a trip coming up I wanted to do a trial run with the new trailer, and haul my jeep somewhere to see how it goes. I went to a place about an hour away from home and I had to take 3 freeways to get there lol. Anyway the towing part when good, but the wheelin part not so much.
I was driving down a sandy path/road to Sycamore Creek, of which actually has water right now. I felt like I was driving on ice a bit. It was a weird sensation, but I figured it was just the sand. Me and the wife wheeled for about an hour and a half or so, and I mentioned that it is weird that when I hit the brakes it veered to the left every time and slightly. Still blamed the sand. Then we went way in the back, and I was crawling over this rock bed getting ready to cross the creek, and this family yelled something at me in broken english. I thought they were telling me my hook for my winch came unhooked from my D-ring and I blew him off, but then they all started yelling at me so I stopped to get out and look and they were yelling "Your track bar is hanging down!" Holy shit sure enough:
Here is my fix to get me back to my truck. It totally worked, put some of these your tool box:
Does anybody know what size bolt that is Length and width?
I made it all of the way back to my truck with my track bar bungie corded in place. I am probably lucky I didn't have disconnected disco's.
So the symptom if you feel like you are driving on an ice-rink and your brakes pull slightly off-road check your track bar.
