For you JK owners, if you look at your front and rear lower Track Bar mounts on the axles, you will notice that they are the most cheaply made brackets you ever seen, they are very pron to sheering off due to the stress and thin metal used, I just went through this same thing with a customer who was doing 65mph on the highway and he hit a small salt truck caused pot hole and the bracket gave loose, he damn near rolled it, anyway just thought you all would like to know there is a fix for this problem (which is becoming well known in the JK forums) BDS offers a kit that straightens these brackets so they wont sheer.

GE2 will no doubt be interested, if they don't get replaced in the lift kit he did.

Yeah, I look under the hood of quite a few new vehicles and the work is just scary. But then again, not many Jeeps see more than the mall parking lot.

You guys are giving me WAY too much credit. What in the 6-8 years I've known some of you gives you the indication I'd even know what a trac-bar looks like? How can I tell if I have stock stuff or aftermarket?

And edge..... I need all the added strength I can get for picking up chicks at the mall.

Oh, c'mon. Your daughters are a few years away from going to the mall themselves, and they'll be embarrassed to get in the car with you no matter what you drive.

Just thought you JK dudes would appreciate the info.

The guy had run some trails with his club in SW Kentucky a few times last summer, but nothing the Jeep couldn't handle with ease and on the front bracket, there is 3 attach points and after running his Jeep all through the winter, and looking at the broke bracket, 2 of the attach points were rusty and 1 was clean, so the bracket had been broke for some time before it finally let go. According to a couple other shops, Chrysler may be planning a recall to fix this problem.
