Adjustable Track Bar

[moogie]

As it is hard to get RHD adjustable track bars in the UK, so i thought i would make my own.

First job was to remove the ball joint from the end of the track bar.

To replace the joint i used a rose joint and adjuster from an old TCA.



I sent the track bar off to a local Engineering firm to get the end threaded and this is what it looks like now.



A close-up of the end.It has narrowed it down a bit at the threads but i think it will still be strong enough.



With the track bar back into its original mounting position it will be much stronger, also the track bar has enough adjustment that it should be good for up to a 5" lift.

Nice work.

I am currently doing something similar to mine.

I have an aftermarket RHD track bar, with a 7/8" - 18 TPI LH thread TRE at the frame mount end. I have sourced a Forged Currie Johnny Joint with the same thread to replace the TRE. The frame mount hole needs to be drilled out to 5/8" (the factory taper is shot).

This should be enough to hold it all together for some time, worst case, the frame mount gets replaced with an aftermarket alternative.
