rylee144 Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 I am installing my lift and needed to drop the trac bar to get my coil on. Now I can't get it back on. How do I pull it over to get the bolt through? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokeyyank Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 You need to get on one side of the axle by the track bar and the other on the body or another solid surface. Basically just a way to pull the axle back over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krustyballer16 Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Can you turn the wheel and force the axle to one side, getting it closer? Or get creativeSent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 How much lift did you install? If you didn't install an adjustable track bar, your front axle is now off center to the chassis. An alignment technician will have lots of fun with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rylee144 Posted June 6, 2019 Author Share Posted June 6, 2019 3 inches. I did not get a track bar. Someday i will get a beefier one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 If you park it on a flat, level surface and measure carefully, you're going to find that the front axle is now located roughly 3/4 of an inch over to the driver's side of the vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krustyballer16 Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 I'm not sure if this is real or a joke..... Very real. My axle was in a huge bind and I couldnt hold it center by myself lol. Once it was centered iwas able to loosen it all up and fix it Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokeyyank Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Gothca, I've just never seen someone do it that way. I've always just put on side on the coil bucket and the other either on the car lift or wrapped around something on the unibody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
