Currie Johnny Joint Adjustable Front Trac Bar

If you have ever wondered which part of a Jeep moves the axles in a lateral direction, wonder no more – the trac bar is responsible for this movement.  The trac bar comes as part of an assembly that is able to be adjusted in order to make both your steering and your ride smoother.  This assembly contains bearings, a rod and the bushings.  Each one of these components can and will be worn with use and over time.  If your trac bar begins to fail, there are certain things that will give you warning signs.

Pulling to the Side

One of the signs that could indicate a worn trac bar is when your Jeep starts to pull to one side or the other.  This can be indicative of the trac bar, bearings or bushings beginning to wear faster on one side as opposed to wearing on both sides evenly.  If you don’t take care of this issue the other components of the suspension – such as the tires, the axle assembly or the brakes – can end up being damaged which will lead to more issues and a more costly fix.

Turning Difficulty

If you notice that your Jeep is harder to turn then this is also an indicator that the trac bar should be replaced.  This turning issue occurs when the front trac bar gets worn and causes issues with the steering column.

Steering Hesitation

Yet another sign of an aging and worn trac bar can be hesitation in the steering response.  Your Jeep will still be able to turn in either direction but for it to do so, you will need to turn the wheel much further than normal.  If you have ever heard the phrase “play in the steering wheel”, this is it.

If you begin to notice any of these things occurring then it is imperative that you get the trac bar checked out before you get stranded out on the trail somewhere with a broken one.

Johnny Joint Adjustable Front Trac Bar by Currie

This is meant for use on the Jeep MJ/XJ/LJ and TJ.  One of the rod ends is offset.  Because of this, the bar is able to be put farther forward which leaves more clearance between the differential and the trac bar itself.  The construction is chrome moly that is 1 ¼ inches thick and .120 wall.  The gusset leading from the bar to the Johnny Joint is welded.  Also, one end of the trac bar is adjustable and it is equipped with an insert sleeve made from steel as well as a bushing.  These will bolt directly in to the housing bracket that was installed by the factory.  The Johnny Joint Adjustable Front Trac Bar has been finished with a powder coat in black that makes it more resistant to corrosion.

Currie Reviews Antirock Front Sway Bar System

The Antirock sway bar that is brought to you by the minds at Currie will give you a performance that is balanced for both the rear and the front suspension even while you are driving in the most extreme conditions out on the trails or even while you are on the highway.  When you equip your Jeep with this particular sway bar, the traction that you normally have will be enhanced.  This is due to the fact that the sway bar works to distribute and then to balance the weight of your rig over each of the tires on your Jeep.  Curries Antirock sway bar has been made to be used as a direct replacement for the cheaper, flimsier sway bar that was originally installed when you bought your Jeep.

The Antirock sway bar that is made by Currie has been formed from 4130 SAE Steel that has been given a heat treatment so that the strength that it has will be unmatched.  If you have never heard of 4130 SAE steel, it is the same kind of steel that is most often seen in many of the most popular professional competitions for off road driving.  When you purchase the Currie designed Antirock sway bar, you will get it as part of a kit that is complete with each of the parts that will be necessary for you to install the bar safely and properly.  This kit comes with complete and highly detailed installation instructions along with all of the necessary hardware (this includes the bushings) for installation.  The installation of this bar is one that is quite simple.  All you need to do is put the sway bar into position through the cross member (in the front) and then just attach it to your factory installed mounting points that you will find right on the axle housing.  

One of the great things about the Antirock sway bar that is brought to you by the minds at Currie is that when you decide to leave civilization behind for a while and take to the trails, you will not need to disconnect it.  When this component has been installed properly, you will notice that the Jeep will have a more pronounced body roll as opposed to what it had with the original sway bar.  Taking this into account, you should be advised that the street performance of your Jeep will be altered although the bar can still be used for street applications.
