Hello, new to the forum
Just purchased a 2005 jeep Rubicon unlimited with 50,000. My first jeep !
Encountered the dreaded "death wobble" on the ride home from picking up the jeep. Some great diagnostic info on this forum led to the discovery of a badly worn front track bar. The track bar appears to be original.
The jeep ( LJ) has a 2.5 " lift kit installed . It is a Rancho lift kit . Springs (694 RevB). The front and rear lower control arms were changed with the lift mod. However the upper control arms appear to be original.
The rear track bar has been lowered with the addition of a bracket however the front track bar appears to be in the original mounting brackets.
There are many opinions on which manufacture produces the "best" track bar.
My confusion is over how to find a track bar that will conform to the change in geomitry created by the 2.5 " lift ? Some manufactures (i.e. Terraflex) require the installation of a bracket to lower the fame side mounting ...?
Any recommendations on a specific track bar suitable for a 2005 Rubicon unlimited with a 2.5 " lift would be greatly appreciated.
If it matters ,I'm running Goodyear wrangler MT/R LT285/75R16 tires
Thanks !
