4. SET ADJUSTABLE TRACKBAR
LENGTH AND MOUNT TO AXLE
IMPORTANT: The length of the Adjustable
Trackbar must be set with axle housing perfectly
centered and the vehicle at normal ride height.
With the axle housing centered beneath the
chassis, adjust the length of Adjustable
Trackbar by rotating the axle end until the
rubber bushing aligns with the mounting holes
on the axle bracket.
Install Axle End (B) of Adjustable Trackbar to
the axle bracket by securing with the original
mounting bolt and flag nut. Apply anti-seize
lubricant to bolt threads.
Take measurements again to ensure axle
housing is perfectly centered and make any
final adjustments if necessary.
Check the Chassis End (D) of Adjustable
Trackbar to ensure it is aligned with the chassis
rail bracket. If necessary, rotate fore/aft until the
space between the trackbar and chassis rail
bracket is even.
IMPORTANT: The Chassis End of Adjustable
Trackbar must be in the “neutral” position (as
illustrated above) before the Jam Nut is
tightened.
Once all adjustments are complete, fully tighten
the Jam Nut (C) to prevent Adjustable Trackbar
length from changing. HINT: It may be easier to
tighten Jam Nut with the Adjustable Trackbar
removed from the vehicle.
Tighten original mounting bolt on axle bracket to
50 ft-lb. using a torque wrench.
5. LUBRICATE ADJUSTABLE
TRACKBAR
Lubricate the 9/16” x 4-1/2” Greaseable Bolt (J)
at the chassis end of Adjustable Trackbar using
common wheel bearing grease or equivalent.
Maintenance
Re-torque fasteners after driving 150 miles. Continue to
check torque specifications as part of regular vehicle
maintenance routine.
The chassis end of the Adjustable Trackbar features a
spherical polyurethane bushing which is both greaseable
and rebuildable. Lubricate the bushing via the
9/16” x 4-1/2” Greaseable Bolt (J) regularly as part of
vehicle maintenance schedule.
Regular cleaning with pressurized water is
recommended to maximize ease of operation and
reliability. Always lubricate afterwards to evacuate any
moisture.
