Track bar help on CJ
I need some Track bar help for my CJ
Friday my track bar came lose (thank god I was in a parking lot). Got a new nut and put it back, then I realized nether driver or passenger had the cotter pin. So I was pretty disappointed. Question: how tight doses one need to get the track bar bolts? Just tight enough to get the cotter pin in? or as tight as I can? Question 2: the passenger side seems good and tight / solid but the bolt turns with the nut. I could not tell (dressed for work with a flashlight a night) if there was something underneath the track bar that needs me to hold it while I tighten the top? Any help is great. 83 CJ 8, a work in progress http://hometown.aol.com/ebmvi/MyTJindex.html Take out the "XXX" to e-mail me |

I really don't know what part you are talking about....
A CJ doesn't have a track bar....

Re: Track bar help on CJ
I think he means the sway bar.

Re: Track bar help on CJ
Track Bar on a CJ? I think not. What you have is a sway bar, and it is on
the front axle. The Track Bar gets mounted on the rear axle, and it does a different job than the sway bar. In any case, this is not a show stopper, that is you can safely drive the vehicle if you are careful. I have been driving my CJ for nearly 6 years without the swaybar, I am pretty sure you can do it for a few days while you round up the parts you need.
