Rough CountryFront Forged Adjustable Track Bar for 1984-2001 XJ/ZJ/MJ - 1181

A new track bar and a quality wheel alignment fixed my death wobble after installing new shocks and a 2 inch lift kit on a 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee ZJ. Running solid and very stable with new 31 inch Nitto Ridge Grapplers. Rough Country did a great job making a great value on a quality adjustable track bar.

As described

This is a good quality, heavy duty track bar. This was not a direct "plug and play" fit for my ZJ however, as the metal sleeves on the insides of the bushings were longer than the overall bushings were. This meant they would not fit and I had to take an angle grinder and grind the ends of these sleeves down in order to make them fit. I had to do this to both bushings. Everyone else that I know that has installed one of these track bars was able to install it with no problems, so I was a little annoyed that I had to do extra work because of Rough Country's lacking quality control.

Adjustability allowed for the front axle to be centered after previous owner lifted it. Bracket & track bar fit like OEM parts. And the price is right. Perfect product for a daily driver with some off road capabilities.

Good product works well on my 96 cherokee

Got about 2.75" lift on '01 Jeep XJ with a JKS adjustable track bar. Tried to adjust bar to recenter axle after slight lift increase after a few years on Jeep. Could not get adjustable end to turn, rusted solid. Bought this Rough Country track bar, installed it, easy on vehicle adjustment. Recentered steering wheel, took it for a drive. Steering actually feels tighter, less wandery. Jeep drives really nice, feels better than the JKS bar that was about double the price. Even if I get the JKS bar to free up, I'll sell it and keep this one. Very, very nice product.

Track bar is too long. Sleeve needs to be shortened and the threaded ends, as well, to adjust to a length shorter than stock, if needed. Bushings should be upgraded to Moog's before installing. Frame bracket needs to be shimmed to square it up with the frame rail. Good for 0-3" of suspension lift.

Fixed the early stages of death wobble on our xj cherokee. Install went pretty well. One hole on the bottom of the mounting bracket was pretty tight, but got bolt in with a little assistance from a ratchet strap.
