Ovaled out track bar mounts

[Robertwood86]

So I have tracked down the start or hopefully end of my death wobble issues. After swapping out tie rod and track bar with a fresh take off (can’t afford to upgrade yet) I found out my track bar mounts have ovaled out on the axle side and frame side.

The game plan is to strengthen and fix at the same time so I’m going to fix the frame mount by using the synergy brace. The axle side is where I’m unsure.

Instead of welding a washer on I was wondering if doing a stabilizer flip which would go over the ovaled out hole, do the same job?

Thanks!

It's what I did for a while until I traded out for a PR44.....used the Synergy one that uses two extra bolts which locked it in place.

I am sorry to say but you're barking up the wrong tree. ALL track bar holes are larger than the bolts and this is TOTALLY NORMAL. Please read the information on the link below as it will help to explain things in greater detail:

Thanks for the insight, at this point the improper boot size and it not being torqued to spec have actually ovaled out the holes basically making the jeep undrivable. I’m going to brace and upgrade and go from there. Meanwhile I do have ball joints waiting as well.

Cheapest and easiest way to eliminate the bolt hole oval is to get a washer that is the same size and the stock bolt and weld it on to both sides of the mount. It’s the cheapest and easiest thing to do. I know my welder did it for a case of beer.
