Track Bar

Got it put in today. It’s pretty hefty. It has a polyurethane bushing. Changed out the drivers tie rod I’ve had in the garage for about a year while I was down there.  Truck seems to handle better. Glad I got it done. Did a driveway alignment. 1/4” toe in. Centered the axle. Thanks again @Tractorman

You're welcome.

 

I think you set your toe-in a bit aggressive.  You will likely wear the outside edge of the front tires and the truck won't handle as well as it should, especially going into and coming out of curves.  With the Y type steering linkage, the toe-in should very slightly inward - no more than 1/16th inch.  With T-type steering the recommendation is zero toe-in.  It appears that you have the Y-type steering.

 

Good job marking the jam nut positions.

Good to know. I’ll readjust it tomorrow.
