track bar????????

[mhemingw7]

how nessicary is the track bar on the front of my toyota and do i have to run it?
i almost never drive my yota on the road unless to calico and thats only 20-30 minutes away
and most of the time we take the dirt road
and an occasional run to autozone
what effect will this have on my truck?

Well I 'm not running one and the only difference I've seen is that the steering is a little sloppier

You'll get a little brake steer but no biggie. When you hit the brakes the axle tends to rotate and this effects stock steering. The steering wheel will turn a bit but you'll get used to it. If you're removing it just to do it then leave it on, but if installing new springs and it just doesn't line up any more then chuck it. Actually you can lop off the mount and weld it to the rear axle and weld a pipe on the arm and make a traction bar!

Thats is a good point spanky I have noticed a litlle pull now with the brakes since i removed it.

If you dont drive it on the road much, chuck it and enjoy the smoother suspension :up:

or go crossover and you won't notice it in the wheel anymore
