JKS Adjustable Track Bar Installation

Page 3

With the axle housing centered beneath the chas-

sis, adjust the length of Adjustable Trackbar by ro-

tating the Axle End (A) until the Bushing Sleeve (F)

aligns with the mounting holes on the axle bracket.

HINT: If Bushing Sleeve at Axle End is not parallel

with axle bracket mounting holes, it may be neces-

sary to slightly bend the Axle End of trackbar using

a hydraulic press. Variations in the axle bracket

position are typically the result of modifications to

related suspension parts.

Apply anti-seize lubricant to original mounting bolt

threads and adjustment threads of trackbar.

Install Axle End (A) of Adjustable Trackbar to the

axle bracket by securing with the original mounting

hardware.

Take measurements again to ensure axle housing

is perfectly centered and make any final adjust-

ments if necessary.

Once all adjustments are complete, fully tighten

the Jam Nut (C) to prevent Adjustable Trackbar

length from changing.

HINT: It may be easier

to tighten Jam Nut with the Adjustable Trackbar

removed from the vehicle.

Tighten original mounting bolt on axle bracket to

75 ft-lb. using a torque wrench.

Maintenance

Check torque specifications regularly.
Regular cleaning with pressurized water is recom-

mended to maximize reliability.
