Well, the shop got the new track bar today, they went to put it on, and low and
behold my Currie steering is also bent. Tie rod is bent out (away from the axle),
drag link is bent, like you would expect, at the joint where the tie rod attaches.
Now what? Who's is better than Currie?

Hi Jennifer,
Real Jeeps have leaf springs that act as skid plates. If you take a rock
in the center because that's the only way over, than that's the cost of
doing business. Replace what you have:

If you think it got bent due to hitting something you might consider
the Rocky Road high steer setup to get the rods up and out of the
way.

If it got bent just due to steering force, then I don't know. Convert
to manual steering? :)
