Update:

Took the jeep this morning to a dealer that had a BDS track bar in stock before i bought it i wanted them to look at my jeep....... here is the laundry list

-upper and lower ball joints are blown, both sides
-rod end at the pitman arm end of the drag link is bad
-track bar, the frame end is bad. good amount of play
-he said i should put a steering stabilizer on it and that will fix some things.... I KNOW, stabilizers are like bandaids i dont agree with that, i like having one it does mask some things but that is not a reason for this.


I just dropped my jeep off to get the ball joints replaced 1st thing in the AM, The track bar will be put on and alignment will be redone after that at the shop that did my alignment the other day, they are going to do it for free...

So tomorrow i should have some answers/drivable jeep..... at least i hope

Glad to hear things are working out. If you've got access to a torque wrench, you really should check the specs on your track bar. Shops aren't always careful with such things, and 125 lb/ft is a lot of torque.

make sure they weld the c gussets on sloooowly. You really should have had this done prior to the new ball joints as there is a risk of heating them and ruining them.
