Love the vids man. It’s cool to see novice jeepers like myself turn wrenches.
Great video! Plus some comic relief. Your face and body posture at @8:49 lol. Plus the burnt lasagna reference. Too funny. Great tips and nice replacement install.

Had me rollin' lol. Make sure you upgrade the front and rear track bar bolts from 14mm to 9/16 as well (since you are tracking down death wobble). The OEM track bar fastening holes are just a tad larger, at 9/16, than the actual fasteners they used, which are 14mm. Gives the track bars slight play. Also, _any lift_ above 1.75" will require you to swap out the front and rear sway bar links, especially if your rear end feels "loose" over rough road (not O/R, but pavement/concrete).
I've tackled my death wobble, which was severe at only 2.5" of spring and shock lift on 33's.
Awesome video!
Forgot, you have the JKS quicker disconnects up front, and the bar looks parallel :)
Zmodem yeah, i have a video replacing the track bar bushings. And at the same time i replaced the bolts i think. If not, i plan on going with an adjustable track bar, and when i put that in, I’ll change the bolts. As of now, i am death wobble free. 😇
@@developmentdivision122 Roger that! Congrats, man. Death wobble sucks :D
Thank you, love your presentation and explanation.
John Day thanks, much appreciated
great video. i wear the same sandals while working!
Good job on the video.
Hahaha keep the videos coming Brother.
Two questions, if you notice/have time. Can you tell when they need to be replaced without taking off sway bar? Have you replaced ball joints on your JK? I'm going to have some PM on my mail route Jeep soon, and am making a list. I've got something that will creak/groan sometimes in the area of the front suspension, but not sure what it is. Shocks? Its a rough job on a vehicle.
Getting a lot of help from your channel.
6000cs yes just look at the bushings, if cracked and dry, replace.
Nope have had to replace my ball joints yet.
And hm. My jeep always makes some sounds, i think it’s a Jeep thing. Could be coil springs, where the top and bottom meet the axle/frame, but it could really be anything. Just keep trying to isolate the sound, maybe have a friend roll the jeep front and back in a parking lot, and maybe you’ll be able to see or hear the sound better. You got this.
@@developmentdivision122 I'll slide under there and look at those bushings, etc. So, thanks, as always.
Gotta go drink some water… fuck 😂 lmfao I was looking for an install vid but I’m subscribing now
What is the reason to replace them?
how do u make repair when the sreel is rotted also the bolts and bracket r no good
I’ve had not so good luck with Crown Automotive parts.
Nice video .. thanks. Does the Jeep lean less in corners?
Xcentr1cK it’s the same OEM feeling. If i went to poly bushings it would be stiffer. I’m looking to replace the rear sway bar to reduce understeer
@@developmentdivision122
TY for the reply.. when I leave steep driveways, the JK violently goes left to right.... I'm going to check those bushings
TY Again
@@Xcentr1cK alignment first
Is it an identical process for the rear bushings?
Erich Schueler pretty much
Do you need to align after this?
no
@@developmentdivision122 thanks brother love your videos I’m about to do the same which paint did you use?
@@5sunny01 if memory serves me right, I used some standard issue rustoleum black spray paint. However, now-a-days I recommend the rustoleum professional gloss black. It comes in a silver can. Dries fast, makes parts look brand new, sticks. Goodluck! Thanks.
You have an owl in the background. Do you hear it?❤
I guess a bit more complicated on a Rubicon.
I thought Polly was better I hate them I need to switch them out to ome.
My polliurathain one suck ass. I greased them up and they have a long thread coming out like its melting. 😠 they dont look good
takingu2skoo oh :/ darn
sweats and crocs, oh yea get it done.
why did you do this? did you feel anything or hear something?
M C drivers side bushing was cracked
@@developmentdivision122 I see where you showed the wear but was this really causing any noticeable driving issues or otherwise?
M C not really. I was just tracking down some death wobble also. (turns out it was the track bar bushings). But not a bad idea to replace messed up bushings whenever you detect one.
IF you go to that much work why not up grade and replace with polyurethane bushings ?

@2:59 She should see a doctor

No such thing as an “easy change” with a Jeep aka Heep.
