Help with Track Bar install

[resqman911]

I cant for the life of me get this thing to line up, any tricks to get it to shift over?

Usually raising or lowering the jeep some with the tires still on the ground will help but somethings got to move sideways a little bit, either the frame or the axle.

Is it on a lift? Or on the ground?
A ratchet strap from the axle to whichever side you are trying to adjust it to might work.

Ratchet strap worked on the last 2 lifts we installed. Make sure it's a stout one though

With the vehicle under its own weight, start it and have someone turn the steering wheel slowly back and forth while you line the track bar up and put the bolt in. Once the bolt is in, shut it off and torque it down.

Ive had luck with jeep on the ground with the wife or kid turning the wheel till it lines up. The chassis will shift back and forth easily, at least mine did.

If it's the front track bar do what the last two people said and turn the steering wheel. If it's the rear you may have to use a ratchet strap and or a jack.

You can have someone just push on the body and it'll shift.
