Default Track Bar

I installed a new adjustable track bar yesterday. Now my steering wheel is not aligned and I still have the death wobble. Thanks for any help.

Be sure to fill out your signature so we know what were talkin about here.

Are you sure you the axle centered to the frame with the trac bar and are all the bolts tightened down. If your like me you better double check cause you'll find at least one hangin loose. What kind of bar is it.

Check your tie rod ends, and ball joints too, they can all cause problems!

your wheel shouldnt be off center by just changing the trac bar (unless you lifted it at the same time)

it sounds like the axle isnt centered.

you need to measure from the axle to the frame. pick a spot on the axle that is flat and the same on both sides. run a straight edge up to it so you can measure the straight edge to the frame. then do the same on both sides.
