95 ram 2500 track bar replacement
 
I am in the middle of replacing my dodge ram trackbar.I have been spending the last few days replacing my dodge ram trackbar.I got the old one off, now I am trying to put on the new one.I have been trying to shimmy the new one in there with little success.does anyone have any advice on which side I should attach first? My thought is to connect the top end to the frame and then jack up the front of the frame to get the other side in.any advice is greatly appreciated.

:humm: If I remember right I just hooked up one end and then jacked up the frame till the other end lined up, should be like a 15 minute job. :c:

Thanks for the very timely response.I was trying to keep one side attached and jacking it up, but it did not seem to be working.that was with the lower end connected though.it is very likely I just need the upper end connected.I will try it that way tommorow.thanks for the advice.Ill post my results later.

bolt the bottom in then lower the truck to get the "ball joint" end into the mount, then lower the truck so the full weight is on the wheels and then tighten the nut. the weight has to b on the wheels or ur track bar will not b installed properly.

well after looking around I can tell that there is no specified torque setting.I tightened it down and it works fine.thank you guys for the advice.:c:
