Jeep JL Wrangler and JT Gladiator Truck Adjustable Front Track Bar by Synergy Installation

Installing an aftermarket adjustable front track bar is a great way to help re-center your axle after installing a 2”-3” lift and while there are a lot out options out there to choose from, I might recommend that you get the one made by Synergy. In addition to being made out of 1.50”, 0.25” wall DOM, it also comes with their signature, double adjuster sleeve and that means you won’t have to remove it to make fine tune adjustments. And, because it utilizes a pinch bolt to hold everything in places, you won’t have to fight with a jam nut that can be near impossible to keep tight. Of course, what makes this track bar really nice is that it comes with their awesome new Dual Durometer Bushings. In addition to being 100% maintenance free, the Dual Durometer Bushings are designed with 2 different durometers, a soft outer that offers cushioning and flex and a hard inner lining that acts as a bearing surface. Installing this track bar is super easy, can be done in under an hour using a just few basic tools and this video will show you how.

@@fishingcc9588 yes. I replaced my OEM trackbar. The Synergy is much more durable and isn’t held together with a pinch unlike the factory. I’ve also since replaced my LCA’s with the factory LCA’s that are 1/4” longer from the 2” factory lift kit. They are dirt cheap and increase your camber to the range they should be if your Jeep came from factory with 33” tires.

[@scrappyjackalope9558]

Great videos!! Only thing I would say is I would always use the torque wrench when ever possible on the nut side with your fasteners. The friction loss of the bolt through the brackets and ends can result in you not torqueing things down to the proper torque value.. for example if there is 15lbs of friction between the bolt, bracket and track bar end that nut is seeing 15 lbs less on its side.. Thanks again for the videos. I have watched a bunch and you do a really good job showing the product and explaining installation steps..

Both use dual durometer bushings and both are solid track bars. I wouldn't hesitate to run either. The Synergy one is just better in that it comes with their double adjuster sleeve and pinch bolt.

[@Erik-ek9du]

I love your videos and how you take the time to explain everything, but one thing I've noticed is when you're tightening bolts with the impact then going back with a torque wrench to torque them to spec a lot of times it looks like the torque wrench clicks right away. That means it was most likely tightened beyond the desired torque with the impact and going back with a torque wrench only proves that. I know with a lot of these parts being over torque doesn't really make a difference, but on some it really does.

[@wayalife]

LOL - It's called editing. Just speeding up things up so that you just hear the click.

[@jerrykarpoleh204]

Great info in your video 🙏🏾. I’m a bit late 😊. I just installed Teraflex 2.5” lift kit on my JK Rubicon 2016 & notice my axels both front n back were pushed towards the driver side by .5” at the front n about 3/4” at rear axle. Just ordered RC adjustable front and rear track bar to recenter my axels. My question is when I line up the old track bar with the new, am I subjecting the extra .5” off so the new bar is .5” shorter than the old bar or measure eye to eye old vs new install it then adjust it afterwards to center the axels. I was a bit confused with that info in the video cos yours wasn’t too bad off center that would require you to adjust the bar. Any info on how to adjust the new track bars to get them to center again would be greatly appreciated 🙏🏾🙏🏾.

[@wayalife]

You want to make your track bars a bit longer to correct your axle position at ride height. I should note, this position will ALWAYS change depending on how much weight you have or don't have in your Jeep and it being off a bit is no big deal.

Hello I have a 2020 Jeep gladiator with a RC 6” lift witch came with a trac bar relocated bracket after a few days of the lift I when ahead and bought a rubicon express adjustable trac bar to 6” I had the shop installed it but they didn’t remove the relocation bracket it witch has me thinking what’s the purpose of ajustable trac bar if the relocation bracket is still being used any info on that thanks

[@wayalife]

For the most part, all you really need is a track bar relocation bracket as it will help to re-center your axle after installing a lift but it will ALSO get your track bar to sit more level with your axle just like factory and that will help with handling. An adjustable track bar will just allow you to re-center your axle and nothing more. Because most lifts yield more lift than what is advertised, some additional re-centering may be desired and that's where it would come in handy but it's really not critical.

[@SynysterGoose]

Can you adjust the track back with it still attached with weight on wheels? I'm about 3/4" to far towards the driver side

Yes. That is the purpose of the double adjuster :)

I have notice my track bar popping on the driver side. The bolt is moving side to side. Not loose. Not sure why it would bc I have 1 1/2 level kit with 37’ tires...maybe that’s why.

[@wayalife]

When you say not loose, did you make sure to tighten the bolt to 120 ft lbs of torque or did you just use a basic ratchet and called it tight when you felt like it was?

[@kertiszman]

[@eric6650]

Would something like this eventually be made for the 2024 Jeep Willys? I have a lot of factory OEM parts on it that I know aren’t as strong as most of the upgrades you’ve installed, so I’m hoping Synergy is listening. 🙏

Unless I missed something, there's nothing different about a 2024 that would prevent you from installing these components.

Unless your kit comes with adjustable control arms and track bar, the only thing an alignment shop can do is charge you to recenter your steering wheel. IF you have adjustable components, they can reposition your front axle and add in more caster if you feel the need for it.

Before you throw any money at your Jeep, try lowering the psi in your tires to something more reasonable like, 28-32. That alone should help your wandering issue.

[@cjsalzano]

@@wayalife I tried your idea, reduced tire pressure to 30 and really didn't get much if any improvement with the wandering issue and also dashboard is complaining wants tire pressure to be 37.

[@wayalife]

@@cjsalzano Well, it was worth a shot to help save you some money. For a lot of people, that helps and you'd need something like a JScan to get your TPMS to not give you grief. Being that your Jeep is stock, you really shouldn't need anything else to make it not feel like it's wandering. I'm guessing you came from a car with rack and pinion steering? Because, what you're feeling is probably normal for a Wrangler. I don't even think about it unless I start driving something else. Adding more caster would help out and adjustable front lower control arms will allow you to do that but depending on what you're expecting your Jeep to feel like, that might not even help enough.

I have a mopar lift kit and thinking putting some adjustable control arms to correct my geometry and caster, pinion angle, center axle, and if i am on budget should i put front or rear?

[@wayalife]

Before you spend a dime, is it safe to assume you are NOT running an aftermarket double cardan drive shaft in the rear? If not, there is no need to set your pinion angle and no control arms are needed in the rear. Your axles are centered with track bars and really, there is no need to address them. By design, your axles will always be off a bit one way or another depending on how much weight you've got in your Jeep. As far as caster angle goes, there is no need to address it unless you are feeling flighty at highway speeds. Last but not least, new control arms will NOT correct geometry from a lift. The only thing that will are long arms and that's an entirely different ball of wax.

[@sergo8483]

They all get the job done but personally, I would run the Synergy or Rancho as both come with the Dual Durometer bushings and allow for better bind free movement. Rough Country uses bonded rubber bushings and they work well but they do bind up. Also, the Rough Country uses a split turn buckle for adjustment and I look at it as a weak point.

You just loosen up the pinch bolt and then rotate the double adjuster as needed.

Hey Eddie, I have the same setup as you with the pin to stick the dampner on from Senergy. In the video you said you had another adjustable track bar and only needed to take a measurement to match new track bar from old. If I have the oem track bar and I measured both sides of the jeep and I’m 1 inch off center driver side how do I adjust new senergy track bar?? Do I adjust the nut on track bar to the left or right on new track bar. Thx

[@wayalife]

Assuming you've lifted your Jeep, you need to increase the length of your track bar by turning the adjuster sleeve.

[@johnpurtell1142]

@@wayalife I do, I have a 2 inch lift Dynatrac that netted me 2.6 inches all the way around. The shop that put the synergy Relocation bracket on for the steering dampener and senergy steering system screwed up and messed up the tread of that circle threaded bolt with the hex head. Now in order to put the new adjustable track bar on I’m taking it to a different shop who said they will be able to get it out and I’ve ordered a new one😔😔 My wife, after having a Lyft about four months is starting to get a little death wobble in a certain part of a road on our way to her work. It is downhill and curving to the right at around 55 miles an hour. So I decided to get the adjustable track bar and get a wheel alignment done where I saw on a KZbin video from a guy in Vegas, who owns a shop how to set the toe with in the limits of the front tires, but just barely within the limits and I guess in the video he shows how that will take care of the problem without screwing up the wearing of your tires. It is still within Mopar specs.

[@wayalife]

@@johnpurtell1142 Are you sure you have death wobble? As in, an uncontrolable violent shaking of your entire Jeep and one that will only stop by slowing down to a stop? Or, do you have a bad shimmy which is NOT the same thing. Being that it only happens when going around a curve to the right, I would double check that your steering wheel is absolutely straight. If it's off even a bit, a situation like a curve will make your Jeep's computer think you're in a slide and kick off the traction control.

[@johnpurtell1142]

@@wayalife my wife had to pull off and stop to get rid of it 2 times and yes the steering wheel is straight. It’s weird only in that location and I went there myself in jeep and the wheel shakes and I slowed down from 53 to 30 and it stopped and then went away. I obviously told her not to go in the left lane of that curve when you go in the right lane because it’s two lanes it doesn’t happen at all. It’s really weird. The road does not have any major bumps. It’s a little bit roly, but I guess that’s enough to trigger it. I don’t think the adjustable track bar was hurt anything it should only improve most likely correct?

[@wayalife]

@@johnpurtell1142 Okay, just wanted to make sure. Death wobble is a condition created by loose or worn out components. A new track bar will not hurt anything and if the joints on your current track bar are bad, the new one will help things. You really need to make sure the bolts are tightened to the proper 120 ft lbs of torque.

[@atcleveland2002]

Love your videos. I could use some help. U have a 2018 JLUR and a complete Synergy setup. My tracker bar gives me a death wobble when I hit bumps at 45mph. I cant set my castor due to the front track bar binds at the axel side. LCA are 24 1/8 and 20 1/4. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[@wayalife]

Sorry, can't remember what factory lengths are but if you're binding, it sounds like you've lengthened them too much. You really should have only 1/4" of length increase on the lower arms even if you have 3-4" of lift.

[@joemama7435]

I am curious why you still have the OEM Mopar Steering Damper/Stabilizer? Seems like there is a better after-market option. My 2019 Jeep Sahara has a warranty extension on that part for 8yrs 90k miles and I just had that replaced with the OEM part at the dealer but will replace that in the future with an after-market one day.

[@wayalife]

I am curious why you think that a better steering stabilizer is needed or that an aftermarket option would somehow be better? From personal experience testing out a myriad of stabilizers, I can tell you that most are in fact, not any better and if anything, a lot of them cause problems such as pushing which leads to drifting or are just flat our worse and allow for wobbling. But then, that's just what I've seen.

[@joemama7435]

@@wayalife I do not know. I guess I watch too many videos with all the different after-market options for all the front end parts. That is why I asked.

I drove it a while ago at 70 and hit a bump and it started shaking pretty bad, slowed down and it recovered. I appreciate your responses!

Quick question, looking to install both Synergy Front Track Bar and the Steering Stabilizer Relocation Bracket from Synergy. The bolt that comes with the Steering Stabilizer Relocation, I saw it on your other video that it needs to be drilled IF YOU ARE USING FACTORY STABILIZER, however I have the FOX 2.0 steering stabilizer (NOT the black and grey ATS, NOT the orange and black ATS). Do you know if I still need to drill the inner bushing of the fox stabilizer or is it a simple bolt on.....?

You only need to drill if you are reusing the factory stabilizer. And I should note, it is better.

Assuming you're referring to a track bar relocation bracket, there is no guarantee that it'll offer the same amount of correction as you have lift. I would set your adjustable track bar to be what it needs to be and based on the position of your axle.

[@wayalife]

No, it is not necessary to get a front end alignment as you will essentially be doing it yourself. Regarding adjustment, you're just trying to get your axle centered on your Jeep at ride height. In reality, this isn't even critical unless you have rubbing issues.

Looks like you’re running a Pro Rock 44 with CV axles. Have you broken it at all on 40s?

We are running 37" tires on our JL. I would NOT recommend running 40's on a ProRock 44. Even if the shafts could hold up to them, the ring and pinion would not especially being that they're running the smaller JK gears. Breaks at the ring and pinion is something something we see time and time again even with 37's.

[@Robstunner]

But where did the fox ats go?

[@wayalife]

If you're referring to the steering stabilizer, the tie-rod clamp is made out of aluminum and it wasn't able to take the abuse the way the Synergy tie-rod definitely can. The Synergy clamp is made out of steel and it's been holding up much better.

[@StreetsAlivePhotos]

Just a question, I recently lifted my Jeep with a 4" and added 35's on it. I have the 3.3's Falcon shocks, but the drive feels rough. What other upgrades do you recommend for me to get close to a "smoother" Jeep?

[@wayalife]

4" is a LOT of lift for just a set of 35" tires. That said, a majority of ride quality comes from spring rate and to get that tall, your coils need to be stiffer. Shocks will only serve to dampen bumps. Also, assuming you did not install long arms to help correct suspension geometry, you're probably also feeling the affects of your factory length control arms sitting at too steep of an angle. One last thing, if the tires you installed are load range D or E, that won't help anything either as they have really stiff sidewalls. However, even if you have load range C tires, lowering your psi to about 28-30 will help smooth things out.

[@jxrxb]

@@wayalife thank you for the information!

[@jxrxb]

Which springs do you recommend?

[@wayalife]

For a softer ride? I personally prefer a single rate coil like the kind that EVO makes. Maybe get something more like a 2"-3" lift at most.

@@wayalife I have stock control arms. Would upgrading to drop brackets with Teraflex adjustable control arms help better the situation? Do you also recommend changing the stock front and rear track bar due to the sway and body roll with an adjustable Teraflex track bar?
