loose track bar

[maddzz1]

I think the tapping Ive been hearing may be my trackbar. I assume I will need to drop the front skid to get to the track bar nut. But it doesnt look like there is anywhere near enough room to get a torque wrench in there. Should I just tighten it down as much as I can or is it bad to over tighten it? What size nut is it?

Good chance of that, i heard a similar tapping and tightened down the track bar, 100% gone.

 

I left my skid plate on when i got at it (it was the upper bolt) but my front end is currently out of wack, so not sure if you can do the same.

 

I think i put the socket on the nut, then attached the wrench to the socket once it was already on.

Did you use a torque wrench? I have the one with the long pin thing on it, not the kind you just set and it is too big to get in there. Is there anyway to run a long extension down from the top?
