Tech Tuesday: How To Adjust Your Trac Bar for Better Steering

[@craigmaverick]

Use a 4' level off the tire so you can make sure your tires are plum. Always measure off the frame, way more accurate then body panels. I'm installing my front axle today so I'll be doing this real soon. Love the vids bro 👍

[@wildhorses4x4]

I was talking with one of our most knowledgable tech guys and he said the same thing about body panels. Mine are in great condition but even I can admit that they could be slightly tweaked. Hopefully not though haha I'll have to remeasure and find out! Thanks for watching the channel bro!

Installing the heim system and trying to center the pitman arm. This is the first video I've seen to do that by adjusting the drag link. Good stuff!

Good video. Watched it last weekend. Ordered my new track bar from you guys. Part of my Dana 30 to Dana 44 swap tomorrow.

[@wildhorses4x4]

Right on! Hope it was a fun install!

[@Thejbelow]

Bro Thank-you so much, I could not figure out how to shift my axel slightly to get the bar back in, the wratchet idea worked like a charm!!! 😁😁😁

[@wildhorses4x4]

Awesome to hear! Glad it helped

Thank you, Lance! It must be the coffee haha

[@sdfuzzy6924]

Love the Tech Tuesday stuff, Good work and keep them coming!

[@wildhorses4x4]

Thanks, will do!

[@ShawnsEarlyBroncos]

Good timing. Steering components and suspension install in my near future and this will help. Thanks!

[@wildhorses4x4]

Perfect! haha glad to hear!

[@nickefgen9219]

Great video, I'll be swapping the front axle out for a Dana 44 soon

[@wildhorses4x4]

Getting with the times! haha Right on, Nic!

Found the solution to the track bar when it doesn't line up because saying to ratchet strap the frame and body confused the hell outta me and I never heard of it. If it doesn't line up on the passenger side jacklift the driver's side about 5 jack pumps after it started lifting to get it high enough because what I found out is if the driver's side is not going in it needs to be at an angle to slide in perfectly but nobody ever explained it, have fun and use those jack stands yall gonna need it for this one but I did it on a 2000 dodge ram 4wd, fun fun Edit: Also, my tires were off because I got done replacing my ball joints and everything else from there was very easy access

[@chechan75]

So if the drivers side extended out more, you would rachet starp the driver side? basically the same thing. The reasin i ask is because my driver side sticks out .75 inch more. Thank you

Why not find the center of the axel and then the center of the frame. Alot more precise. And if you have a line laser real easy.

[@wildhorses4x4]

That's something one of the guys that I know recommended but unfortunately it was after I had made the video. haha I'm still learning the tricks of the trade. But great idea! I'll definitely try some different things next time! Thanks!

[@snarfarpher2416]

Hi Dave. The line laser deal you mention is a FANTASTIC IDEA! How do you go about finding the center of the frame/wheels?

[@davidcobiseno5620]

We wanna see gas tank vid! Make it happen!

[@wildhorses4x4]

Aye now that's an idea right there! An install? A product briefing?
