JKS OGS121 Front Adjustable HD Track Bar for Jeep JK

My 2012 JKU Rubicon with 3.5" AEV Dualsport lift had developed a shimmy between 50 and 60 mph. I took it to get the tires rotated and balanced and the vibrations got worse. So much so that I ended up with full on death wobble on the interstate (not the first time I had been through DW, but the first time in this vehicle). I took it to a shop who said I needed to possibly get a new track bar or bushings for the OEM one along with possibly tie rod/drag link ends. I decided to order the JKS track bar since I had great experiences with their quality on my previous Jeep Cherokee. The JKS TB is noticeably bigger and beefier. The OEM TB bolt sleeves would move around when I put a bolt in them. Not the JKS. So much more stout. While the info for the JKS TB says it works for 1" to 6" of lift, I found that it can actually be adjusted to OEM length. The removal of the OEM TB and install of the JKS TB took about an hour and a half. I lifted the Jeep just enough to put the frame on jack stands but not enough to lift the front wheels in order to keep the axle from shifting when removing the OEM TB. It worked great. I put some thread locker (blue) on the 21mm bolt threads and torqued them to 125 ft-lbs. Took it for a drive up to 55. I still have a VERY slight shimmy that I need to track down, but the new JKS TB prevents the vibrations from getting worse. The Jeep is safe to drive again. 5 stars for the JKS OGS121 track bar.

I was having wobble issues on my 2009 Wrangler JK Sport and this product along with a new Fox steering stabilizer cured all my issues. This track bar is super high quality and very easy to install. I would highly recommend this upgrade as it replaces the "flex" factory track bar that will tend to over flex and cause loose steering. Also, I would do this upgrade in conjunction with a new Fox steering stabilizer, since the Fox unit uses the mounting point of the track bar and comes with a new track bar bolt that replaces the factory bolt. Best upgrade combo for job Wrangler, period!

Installed about 3 weeks ago and my Death Wobble has stopped, so far. Keep you posted if that changes. It also helped with the alignment of my front end. For the first time since I've had my '07 Jeep JKU-Rub the front end actually was able to be aligned correctly. I run 33" tires and have a 1.75" leveling spacer lift on the front which I installed about a year ago. It was not the cause of my DW issues because it started prior to installing it. This track bar is heavy duty very well made and fit my JK with no issues. UPDATE: had a small DW issue on the road about a week ago, not bad compared to the original DW issue, but it hasn't happened again even on the same bump. I have also installed a .75" spacer lift on the rear since having this bar installed. Will continue to update...

Had some death wobble which I believe was a result of some poorly balanced tires, mis-aligned trackbar (after 2" Lift) and weak Track bar. So I gave this a shot while I waited on my new 33" tires/wheels. Immediately solved the problem! Even better once I put the new wheels/tires on. For the money this is worth it and highly recommended if you went with a lower cost lift that did not include it. My Track Bar was off by almost an inch and was tracking towards the right side even after a full alignment.

You can replace this without lifting the truck. Replace the factory bolts that come with the track bar. They will damage the sleeve, look at the old sleeves when you get them out and they’ll look threaded. Also, you might need a relocation bracket on the axle side as this specifically states it does not work with frame side aftermarket brackets so check that first unless you know you don’t have one. You will be told to use a ratchet strap to recenter the axle but I found a come along to be much easier to use. Measure from the inside of the front tire utilizing the same location of the tire on each side and measure over to the spring bucket and record. Split the difference and add it to the short side pulling the axle over that way. Mount one side of the come-a-long to the frame and the other to the axle housing and pull it over to the short side. Remeasure at the same location, adjust the track bar there and install. Mount the passenger side of the track bar last. Lock the nut down, I suggest using a jumbo crows foot, JKS also has one available for sale on their site and I believe it’s on Amazon. I believe it is a 1” 13/16” but I’m not positive. You can find an entire kit on here for a great price. Happy trails, hope this helped. It looks great! It fit perfectly after adjusting the threaded rod over! I suggest installing antisieze on the threaded shaft you will adjust. Check the bolts after test drive and get a professional alignment done because you just moved your steer angle and your steering wheel will be slightly off depending on how far off your axle is. Look up how to adjust your steer ahead, it’s simple by loosening two bolts and moving the sleeve just have someone monitor the steering wheel for you while you adjust and make a final adjustment after test driving. Double check your hardware.

Needed to center my front axle after the lift was installed this product is solid and well worth the money spent I have the rear adjustable also made by jks. I have no complaints product is of the highest quality materials and the price was in my budget, glad I got them the jeep now tracks perfectly straight. And installation was not hard at all. If I ever need to replace my front and rear track bars again I'll be going with JKS again.

I had one of these on my Grand Cherokee, didn't think I'd need it for my JK until I looked and saw my axle wasn't even close to being centered. This track bar is beefy as hell and corrects all of your alignment issues. GETS RID OF: Bump steer completely, shimmy, death wobble (if it's because of your axle), helps your JK drive straight as an arrow and corrects the alignment of your axle. Night and day difference, as usual with their products. Highly recommend if you have any of the above issues. Make sure you upgrade though to grade 8 9/16 bolts though for a tighter fit and to ensure to wollowing of the bushings.

Very nice and good quality
