Hhhhmmm...tempting thought leaving the track bar off. The bump steer is caused by the different angles and lengths of the steering linkage and track bars. Did it eat up spring bushings without track bar? My brand new RE swaybar disconect bushings are already split and hanging out after a week.

This is not my every day driver. Just a fun toy. But saying that my wife wants to drive it to town and the beach this summer and I don't want there to be any issues in handling.  I plan to use it myself for strictly offroad Playing around and hunting.  So I am looking to meet some where in the middle. Right now at 90 km it is two hands on the wheel and a pinch mark in the seat it is so scary. I still think it could be the shackles but nobody here has mentioned anything yet so maybe not. I sent the guy at beartrax a email saying I wanted to purchase a teli trac bar but he still has not got back to me with a price.
I am going to sawsall my rear trac bar off tonight since it is seized in and elongating the mounts and makes a horible clunk on every bump.
Thanks again for all the help, I hope the info keeps coming.

i have read in a bunch of places that any shackle lift over 1 inch can cause steering problems and the such.
