Put in my OME kit (2.0) in and the front axle shifted 3/4" to 1" to the driver's side. Got a new track bar from Rocky Road and put it in on Sunday, now the axle is shifted the same to the passenger's side. I even backed the adjustment all the way back in , still the same problem. Been e-mailing someone back and fourth from there and getting alittle advice and talking about making one for my ride. Maybe some of you guys can help.

I can't see how you it can be off. When I did my trackbar (Currie) I used a ratchet strap to pull my axle to center. If I remember the front axle was 3/4" out of line. Once centered I adjusted the trackbar to match up both ends to there prospective holes. Bolted them in and tightened the lock nut. The hardest part of the job for me was finding an 1 1/2" wrench for the locking nut. Let us know how you can move the axle out on both sides but can't center it.

I went from the stock bar to the Rocky Road bar, which is too long and will not allow for any more adjusment. Even with the bar fully adjusted in, it still will not center the axle. Was told the bar was for a 3" lift or higher (?). Need to get a (Currie) new one that allows for a smaller lift, I guess.  |

I don't know anything about the Rocky Road trackbar. But If it says 3"and above , you only have a 2-2 1/2" lift. So It sounds like the wrong length bar. Talk to the vender about exchanging it for the right length bar.

Spoke with them already, one of the owners told me to cut about 1/2 inch off the adjustable end of the bar put the end piece back on and this would correct the problem. He also said that if they were going to make one for me, this is how they would do it. He added that this would not affect the strength due to the length of the joint and the warranty is still in tack. It should work, if it does not, they'll take care of it......  We'll see.... |

Well I spoke with rocky road and was told to cut 1/2" off the end. That's a mod they do sometimes. I did and it and it worked fine ,the axle is now centered as good as I can do it. Took it and got it aligned, Driving real nice now, going to the mountains to check it out tomorrow!!!!! I'll get some pics... DANG!  |
