Will do, hoping to go to advance for a moog track bar tomorrow morning. Shouldn't take too long to do.

 

Thank you! Much appreciated!

 

If you plan to keep the truck for a long time, might want to consider upgrading the track bar to a 3rd gen style track bar. The 3rd gen bar does not have a joint at the end to go bad. In order to run a 3rd gen bar on a 2nd gen truck, a conversion bracket is needed, which bolts into the truck's frame area where the 2nd gen ball joint mounts up. For an example of the bracket, see the following link:

I converted over to this style track bar and have been very pleased with it.

 

I have actually heard of doing that, how much does that cost? Can't find a price on their website. Depending on the price difference I may do that, but the thing is I need it drivable by Saturday to go out to Carlisle for mopar nationals

 

Got the track bar, but weather isn't Allowing me to replace it, as soon as i get it done I'll post the pictures

 

Woot cant wait!

 

I'll post the pictures and such when i get free time, but got it done now my steering wheel needs to be vertical for the wheels to be straight. Alignment is fine, but anyone know how to move the steering wheel?

 

There is an adjustment sleeve on the drag link (bar that goes from steering box, down to the linkage) that you can loosen up the clamps on the ends, and turn it to recenter the steering wheel.

 

Does the front end of the truck need to be jacked up to do that?

 

Nope. In fact, I recommend NOT jacking it up, so the steering wheel is the only thing that moves.
