[QUOTE="Drewbert, post: 427942, member: 19226"] I think track bar consideration (and more specifically) / alignment issues of the front end has merit with stock (type) parts. I wouldn't have taken mine off with those weenie stock shackles, 27 year old leaf spring / shackle bushings, worn out steering / suspension. With quality (moderate lift) springs, military wrap ends, polyurethane eyelet bushings for both the springs / shackles, along with associated heavy duty steering / suspension components, that front track bar becomes extremely dangerous in my eyes. Once all the factory engineered play (and 27 year old resulting wear) has been removed, the track bar cannot articulate without binding up the suspension. My Jeep would hit a bump and veer left / right as the track bar would literally bind up. There is now simply not enough play in the front end to allow it to articulate. It's my take that the front track bar is a crutch, covering up the crappy stock tolerances. [/QUOTE]
