So as I was hurriedly travelling down a grassy woods road, I saw a hole but no time to stop, so I nailed it with the front right wheel. I'm surprised the airbags didnt' go off (I'm not concerned about that happening at the wrong time anymore).

Glad I had some extra arms laying around and I was able to save the bracket. The plan is to stiffen it up more and add some skids, but no time for that yet.

I think I blew the OME shock at that corner and bent the track bar. The axle is even more off-center (bent track bar?) than before and the wheelbase is about 1/2" shorter on that side. I really hope the axle housing isn't bent. So the alignment is the least of my concerns. Just for salt in the wounds, I noticed my ball joints are bad too. :brickwall

 

Does anyone know the track bar length or can someone measure theirs? I need to identify all the damaged parts. Thanks.

 

31 1/4" from center of grease zert to the center of the frame side hole.

 

Thank you much! :thumbsup:

 

Sorry for your troubles, looks like you did a decent job while in that "little grassy hole". If it helps at all, I just measured my stock bar for you, that I replaced with the JKS unit a couple months ago now. From center of hole at axle end, to center of grease zerk at frame end, is roughly 31 1/4" -as best as I could tell with the tape.

Hope that helps, Best of Luck with the repairs,

Mike

edit-oh crap, he beat me too it while I was measuring! Oh well, looks like we're pretty dang close.

Best of Luck.

 

Thanks 'willys', I did a decent job alright. This is a drag. Being in a hurry sure isn't saving me time, or money now.
