TJ problem

[SmokinCamel]

Got a 2000 TJ with a procomp lift. Not sure on the details since it wasw on th jeep when I got it. While driving down the road the back end will sway. Friend said it was bushings. Is it or is it something else?

not to be rude, but have you checked them?

 

[SmokinCamel]

No I havn't. I have been away from home for 3 months and noticed it had gotten worse. Never had time to fix it before I left. But now I got a week to do it.

90% positive, check the rear track bar bracket, it has probably become loose and needs to either be welded in place or tightened.

 

[SmokinCamel]

thanks for the info. I'll check that first.

I had the procomp lift prior to going with the RE longarm. The bushings on those control arms wore out pretty quickly. I had to retorque them quite often. While you're under checking the rear track bar, check the control arm mounting bolts and bushings.

My vote is for the track bar/upper control arm bracket. It's either broken or breaking off of your axle.

oops, I forgot that TJ's are rear coils...

uh, yeah, the track bar could be the culprit INDEED.

easy fixes, either way.
