Why do you need a track bar on a leaf-sprung vehicle??

This is what I was thinking

Probably cause some safety inspector thinks its actually needed rather then thinking for himself? I worked with guys back with the county that would fail them for missing all the time. Granted it was in the book for missing suspension parts. They got better after I started working there and pointed out it wasn't really needed and did more harm then good.

Something like this

Unless you're adding it for inspection or you're going to rally the Jeep, I'd leave it off.

YJ's never came from the factory with a rear track bar. Front, yes so it's a fail on the inspection issue there, but not on the rear.

Like others have said, you're better off without them unless it's an inspection issue. If it is, find another inspector.

I did a lift on a 95 tj that came factory with a rear trac-bar on it. The kit had a relocation bracket for bot the front and rear.

Do you want a rear trackbar (panhard bar) (it goes frame to axle sideways)
or
a Traction bar (ladder bar) (it goes frame to axle front to back to prevent wheel hop)

YJ's never came with either stock.

YJ's had front and rear trackbars from the factory. Now if you are meaning swaybars then YJ's only had those on the front. Ive never been hassled about mine missing front and rear so the cheaper option would be to just take it to another shop.

Me building up 2 stock YJ's (92 and 94)

Autozone lists a different part for front and back

Multiple kits include a rear track bar relocation bracket and if you open the instructions it shows them reusing the stock bar

YJ's DID come with panhard bars front and rear. I agree completely about not needing them though....

 

[MikeGyver]

They make the jeep handle like a car instead of a boat. It would be cool if it had a quick disconnect, otherwise not necessary.

Shelby's jeep has one...

 

[moabjeep77]

I was just curious about it, mine use to have one but where it mounts to the axle on the left hand side broke years ago so I just took it out. I guess i will just nut out one back in.

 

[STAG]

If you do want to do one I can do it for you.

 

[Gravy]

Ah. I am incorrect. I forgot about the rear trackbar on YJ because I swapped the rear axle on mine... I had to look at the frame on mine to confirm it even had one.

chocflip does it help with stability at all? jeep isnt very stable anyway, with the 3 inch body lift and suspension lift it has on it......

Yes they did I just removed both front and rear in my 89 YJ. I also removed them on my 95 Yj.

Haven't had one on mine since I can remember. If you need it for inspection, I would only have it on for that day. If you are looking for stability, ditch the 3" body lift.

Id leave the front track-bar on if ya plan on any freeway duty. It will wander without it . Mine did loosen up after some off-road duty but I added some washers and red Loctite and hasent loosened up since . I did ditch the rear cause the axle mount became paper thin .
