Advocate I
R&R track bar to install KOR oversized bolts and match fitting bushing sleeves. Had too much slop with the stock bolts and JKS bushing sleeves. While I was there, R&R both drag link ends just because. Working my way through the front end, anytime I need to do something I do a little more, in prep for the future lift and to keep death wobble at bay.
Edit: Bolts now upgraded from 12mm to 9/16 grade 8. Torque spec went from 65 to 125 ft-lbs. A handy tip- add a paint pen stripe, easier to see if the bolt has moved than crawl under with a torque wrench just to check tightness. And if you ever need 9/16 hardware, it is an odd size so don't expect to find grade 8 at the local hardware store. Buy extra in case you loose a nut on the trail!
