Track Bar Fractured

Post #15 from the OP:

There it is, 25 mph is not good.

Not a racing truck.

Might have bent the frame. And no matter how many steering stabs you put in, it won't be right.

I told the OP everything needed to be gone through everything.

I know of no other vehicle where the norm is replacing TREs and Ball Joints every 60k

Mine are way over that .way over and still good. I am going to change them soon its called good driving vs. Bad driving . I have 136,000 miles on my Ball joints. But I am beefing up everything. When I off road I aint driving 25mph through collapsed drains. I am lucky to see 20mph on a smooth forest road. I like my truck and my time is precious.

If you run the same trail at 100mph think of the precious time you'll save though?

IMO, there's more to the story, and it's a bit tangled as it is.............

That’s why it’s been crickets for quite a while.

Too often we have to play 20 questions, and even then, much is left out.
I still question several things about this setup. (hitting a rock at 25 will also bend a lot of other stuff - including steering knuckles. I know - my F250 ended up with a bent steering knuckle from a 20 mph impact and that hole thing made the Jeep knuckles and steering look like a toy.

I’m shocked a wheel didn’t crack.

I bent a wheel on my Comanche sliding into a curb at about 5 mph.
I egg-shaped an Eagle wheel hitting a hole (grate off a parking lot drain!) at about 3 mph.

I killed a Volvo c70 wheel with a mild pothole.

A friend recently ran over a raised pothole repair in his BMW i4. He said he was going about 40/45 mph. Damaged steering box, strut, tie rod, and some other steering and suspension bits (no body damage). $21k in repairs.

Nasty.

I have lots of Synergy stuff on mine with no issues. They adjust easily.

There aint a highway stretch barely long enough to get to 100mph & in the second most forested state in the Union I think I will strongly pass.

What's a raised pothole our potholes go down below the surface of the roadway ???
