Installation
1. REMOVE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT
(OE) FRONT TRACK BAR
Remove front track bar and mounting hardware
per the factory service manual instructions for
your vehicle. HI N T: If difcult to remove, use
universal puller tool to separate OE track bar ball
stud from chassis rail bracket.
2. MOUNT ADJUSTABLE TRACKBAR TO
CHASSIS BRACKET
Using a 9/16” drill bit, enlarge the tapered mount-
ing hole in the chassis rail bracket located on the
driver-side of the vehicle.
Locate Chassis End (D) of Adjustable Trackbar
and insert the 9/16” x 4-1/2” Greaseable Bolt (J)
through the Johnny Joint spherical bushing (L).
Place the Tapered Split Cone (N) over the bolt
threads with the narrow end facing away from the
trackbar.
Apply anti-seize lubricant to bolt threads.
Mount chassis end of Adjustable Trackbar to chas-
sis rail bracket by inserting the
9/16” x 4-1/2” Greaseable Bolt (J) upwards into en-
larged hole. Secure with 9/16” Flat Washer – only
if required – (E) and 9/16” Ovalok Nut (G).
IMPORTANT: Flat Washers are supplied for use with
1984-01 Cherokee XJ and 1993-1998 Grand Cherokee
ZJ models ONLY. Do NOT use Flat Washer on Wrangler TJ models.
HI N T: Tapered Split Cone (N) should be located between
ange of spherical bushing (L) and mounting surface of
chassis rail bracket, with the narrow end of tapered cone
facing up towards chassis.
Tighten 9/16” x 4-1/2” Greaseable Bolt (J) to 110
ft-lb. using a torque wrench.
IMPORTANT: The upper ange of spherical bushing
must t ush against the chassis rail bracket. If any
gap exists, it will be necessary to le the bottom edge
of the Tapered Split Cone until completely ush with
bottom of chassis rail bracket.
3. CENTER FRONT AXLE HOUSING
The front axle housing must be in perfect lateral alignment with vehicle chassis before Adjustable Trackbar
installation can be completed.
Before you center the axle housing, make sure the
vehicle is at normal ride height, on level ground,
with the suspension supporting the full vehicle
weight.
Determine if the axle housing is centered by mea-
suring the distance between the tire and chassis,
using the exact same points on each side of the
vehicle to ensure accuracy.

HI N T: For example, measure from the edge of a tire tread
lug to the outboard side of the chassis, then repeat the
measurement on the other side of vehicle using the exact
same points.
