Hi All
Got a call from Craig B yesterday. He doesn't have internet access at this time so I am posting him on his behalf.
He sheared the front Trackbar (Panhard Rod) mount driving on the road. Jeep quoted him $4900 to fix it. But agreed to fix it under goodwill as he had complained the loss of steering control at the last service and they failed to diagnose it. But he reckons Jeep Australia is not going to honor any more warranty claims of the similar nature from any Jeep fitted with lifts without adjustable trackbars. Jeep reckons with a 2 inch lift the trackbar tries to pull the axle out to one side but the control arms try to keep the axle centered under the chassis. Thus creating a constant tension on the trackbar mounts, leading to fatigue in the welds which crack over time.
Any suggestions how to avoid this.
