axles and alignment issue
1990 XJ 6.5" Rusty's on 33X1250R15. Ive had for a year and replaced the whole front end pretty much, at that time the whole thing was in not the best ofshape with very little upkeep on it. Im learning alot, and have done everything so far myself excpt a alighnment, mounting, and balencing my tires. anyways. im new to this and just need a little help if at all possibe. *To the current problem* Driving didnt feel right for some reasome and everytime i let off the gas a strong hum from what seems to be left rear tire i imagine. plus i just cleared up the oil getting in to intake fiasco. So engines running sound. I was cleaning, and greasing when somthing just not right. it appears that my front axle has rolled up bit, as well as sliding out 5.5inches current difference from each side from outside wheel well to outside tire. I know the track bar comes into play. what is the best thing to do? Im gonna be replacing my transfer case, shocks, springs, and axles here in the next 2 months. my tires are maybe 2mths old but seem great still. Taking it to get alignment next week. Should I suck up the right front tire before i take it in or will they fix all that withbthe alignment? and do u think any of the components are bent like drag link, track bar sway bars, etc? replacing all bushings, ball joints, and u joints. I am grateful to all and any advise. Thank You and HAPPY TRAILS!!!

so just get a new track bar? or just if there is wear on the old one? which is a litte less then a year ago when i bought it. The link you sent for the trac bar, thats the same one on there as well as the beefed up bracket.

No adjust yours properly to center front axle over tires.

There are charts avail that will tell u how long your track bar needs to be according to what amount of lift you have. Im not at home and mine is a paper copy. Its not spot on but it will get you very very close. You are way out and I would say your track bar looks way long.
