Weird track bar contraption

[Wildman]

I had this PROCRAP stuff on my TJ when I bought it. And I of course didn't know any better so I left it on there until 2004 when the heim's all sized up and I had DW. I replaced all of it then but I remember dealing with that crap wondering who and why it was designed like this.

Something missing on that bolt in the second picture

Update.... It broke on the trail. One of the heims on the gray, brace bars. I lost steering but with hose clamps and ratchet straps I was able to turn right, no left.

So out with the old, and in with the new! Jks adjustable track bar and stock pitman arm.

This is a ProComp setup from back in the 90's. Those heims will freeze up on you and cause BAD death wobble.
Don't ask me how I know.

X2…. I had that exact setup… here’s how it happens…. High school kid ow a jeep and installs Cheap lift that comes with drop pitman arm… kid knows no better and drop pitman installed… steering sucks….. drop bracket installed to correct angles ish (those 2 bars simply brace the drop bracket and prevent pivoting on the frame side bracket)….. NEXT
I buy said jeep and begin installing quality adjustable parts…. Get everything dialed in nicely EXCEPT now those bars are in a bind and two days ago, back out the driveway and SNAP… broke a hiem joint…

YESTERDAY, take out all that crap… $38 OEM steel pitman arm and a $70 JKS track bar off marketplace….. BAM rides and handles even better that I ever thought a TJ would….
