Instructions:
1. Remove the factory front track bar from the axle bracket and loosen the track bar
from the frame bracket to allow the track bar to rotate out of the way. Secure the
track bar up and out of the way with a bungee cord or something similar.

2. Remove the factory anti-sway bar links from the axle brackets, or remove completely
if using new anti-sway bar links.
3. Position the new PPM-8055 track bar bracket over the stock track bar bracket as
shown below. Secure the bracket to the axle using the supplied 9/16 x 3” bolt and
spacer, the spacer goes where the track bar was located in the stock bracket. There
are 3 cylindrical spacers included with this kit, use the shorter one for this step, the
two longer ones will be used later for the anti-sway bar relocation brackets. Use a
washer under the head of the bolt and under the toplock nut. Do not tighten this nut
at this time; wait until all the other hardware is installed.
4. Install the (2) 3/8 x 1” bolts in the track bar relocation bracket on either side of the
9/16” bolt, use a flat washer under the bolt head and under the nut, then secure with
the 3/8-24 UNF Stover nut.
5. Install the u-bolt over the axle tube and through the track bar relocation bracket, use a
flat washer and the 3/8-16 UNC nylock nut to secure the u-bolt.

6. The anti-sway bar relocation bracket works in conjunction with the track bar
relocation bracket to raise the anti-sway bar mounts by 1.75”. This is required when
using the Synergy sway bar disconnect kit and/or using the Synergy Sway bar link
kit. If you are relocating the anti-sway bar link mounts refer to step 7 & 8. If you
want to keep the anti-sway bar links in the stock location, skip step 7&8 and refer to
step 9.
7. Install one of the 1.5” spacers between the stock sway bar tab and the side of the track
bar relocation bracket in the lower hole with a ½ x 3” bolt and top-lock nut; use a
washer under the bolt head and nut. Refer to the picture below for assembly
reference.

8. Install the driver side anti-sway bar relocation bracket using a 1.5”spacer and ½” x 3”
bolt and top-lock nut; use a washer under the bolt-head and nut.

9. If you are not using the anti-sway bar relocation brackets and want to mount the sway
bar links in the factory location, install the passenger side anti sway bar link between
the track bar bracket and factory sway bar tab as shown below. Attach the driver side
anti-sway bar link in the factory location.
10. The track bar relocation bracket also allows you to relocate the steering stabilizer to
the top of the tie rod. Remove the steering stabilizer from the axle bracket and from
the tie rod bracket.
11. Loosen the u-bolts on the tie rod steering stabilizer bracket and rotate it to the top of
the tie rod as shown below. Tighten the u-bolts when finished.
NOTE – This can only be done on 2007-2010 models. 2011+
models require the use of PPM-8003 Synergy Jeep JK Fox
Steering Stabilizer Tie Rod Clamp.

12. Install the steering stabilizer to the tie rod bracket. Attach the shaft end of the
steering stabilizer to the track bar relocation bracket using the factory nut and bolt and
a ½ washer between the bushing and the track bar relocation bracket.

13. Reattach the track bar using the factory nut and bolt, it helps to have someone turn the
steering wheel to align the track bar to the hole in the bracket.
14. Once all the hardware is installed in the track bar relocation bracket you can begin to
torque all the hardware. Torque the 9/16 bolt to 150 ft-lbs, the ½” bolts to 90 ft-lbs,
3/8” bolts to 40 ft-lbs and the U-bolt nuts to 30 ft-lbs. Torque the factory track bar
bolts to 125 ft-lbs and the factory anti-sway bar link bolts and steering stabilizer bolts
to 90 ft-lbs. Remember to tighten the track bar frame mount bolt if you loosened it
earlier.
15. You will probably have to re-center the steering wheel. Adjust the draglink to center
the steering wheel. If the steering wheel is not centered the ESP light will come on,
so make sure you adjust the draglink so the steering wheel is perfectly centered. This
is accomplished by test driving and making the necessary adjustments. When driving
in a straight line take note of which way the steering wheel need to turn to be
centered. If the steering wheel needs to turn right to be centered, shorten the draglink.
If the steering wheel needs to turn left to be centered, lengthen the draglink.
16. Installation is Complete.
