Long story short; Took the TJ to the shop for an alignment (I know, I know. I could do it myself. But I was in a crunch). ANYWAY, they said they couldn’t do it for 2 reasons.
1) “Track bar is loose” - their explanation was there was play in the tie rod end of the track bar (the driver side end).
Is this a standard tie rod end that I can replace? (Not sure if it is an aftermarket track bar or not).
2) “L/F arm is missing lock washers” - Tech showed me that there are washers on the outsides of the front control arms. Passenger side has them, driver side does not. So they said it was moving laterally too much to be aligned.
Do you know what size washers those are? Do I need those washers with adjustable control arms? (I have adjustables to put on, just never did).
Thanks in advance for reading and helping!
