Track Bar Mount

[echdaviem]

I was wondering if I could get some measurements from someone who has an aftermarket track bar mount that doesn't use the Rod end type mount. I would like to build one for mine. Mainly looking for distance from Hole center to the frame. Thanks for all the Help!

Here's some pics of a rusty's one. It looks like the bolt is centered at 4.75" from the bottom of the rail. but keep in mind i've seem several aftermarket ones with multiple holes. you want the hole in the bracket and axle to allow your track bar and drag link to be parrallel to prevent bump steer... not as important if you eliminate the y style steering and got knuckle to knuckle. I ended up using a drop pitman arm (1/2") to accomplish this because i could not drill the bracket where i really needed it.

wow Thanks so much for the quick reply! I'll be making it totally from scratch so I should be able to get the holes in the right spot. Thanks again!

I suggest looking at kevin's off road. he discusses how the ridge of the oem one is actually stronger than the flat style.

I think it's why rusty's sells a brace that also ties to the passenger side... I've been debating on welding some 1.5" angle down the spine of the bracket and then adding the brace. I've found and cured my DW demons previously, however it's another possible/ potential cause in the future.
