ZJ Track bar Options
« on: July 26, 2011, 10:11:38 PM »
So I have a bone stock 96 ZJ with some front end wobble happening....I know another thread. Through my research and after seeing Bnine about my previous Jeep (01 TJ) I had my fiancee turn the steering back and forth to diagnose what is loose. I have narrowed it down to the frame side of the track bar. Looking for direction on my cheapest option to fix this problem. I would love to replace the whole thing with a new bar but I would like to look at rebuilding this one to save some money.

Let me know what you guys think.

For a stocker go with OEM replacement or Moog.

If it has a stock track bar on it then its not rebuildable. Replacement with either another stock bar or an aftermarket one are the only options.

If its not lifted and going to stay stock then just replace it with a stock one from your favorite auto parts store. If it is lifted, or might be lifted in the future then replace it with an aftermarket one, preferably one that comes with a replacement frame bracket as well.
