Can you tell me if when you move your steering wheel back and forth with the Jeep running if there is a lot of movement in the rubber bushings?

I don't mean the bolt moving, but on mine if you move the wheel back and forth with the Jeep running you can see the rubber bushing in the mounts flexing a lot..

Hey your the one with the steering issues right? I'm still thinking about your other post. I have the tf forged tb and there is no movement. I know that their first gen. tb used different bushings, maybe that has something to do with it? Still though, I think if anything that would induce death wobble, not the symptoms that you described in your other post. But yea, there is little if no movement in my tb bushings.

I am running the new trackbar. Have you layed under your Jeep with it on and moved the steering side to side while you watch the bushings?

Yea i had an awesome episode with dw a few months back runnin the jks track bar and got very accustomed to watching my steering. The bushings on the tf bar have a slight amount of play but it's minimal at best. Sounds like you might have a lil' more. But didn't you say you but the stock bar back on and the problem remained?

Yes that is correct but I just wanted to make sure that I am not having additional problems with the Teraflex before I put it back on.
