[QUOTE="Nic_dEntremont, post: 456525, member: 24390"] I took my track bar right off and the holes on the axle and frame sides definitely have some wiggle room. One of the bushing inserts has thread tooth marks all the way through. I'll replace them with shouldered ones the next size up. Who's big idea was it to use hard grade bolts with full threads on mild steel frame components anyway? I clamped a pipe wrench to the axle tube to see if I could get it to rock on it's control arms but it's solid as can be and I ended up giving the underside of my Jeep a sucker punch. The Jeep won. The drag link and tie rod has adjustments on them, if they're not completely seized I'll proceed to doing an alignment. I assume that heating those parts with a torch is not recommended eh? One of these days I would like to swap my axles with the heavy duty ones anyway. I'd like to have locking differentials and all that fun stuff. [/QUOTE]
