Track Bar and Lower Control Arm Bolt Upgrade Kit for Jeep Wrangler JK + Extra M14 Bolt

Quality kit and budget friendly for added safety and driving experience. I replaced my front lower control arms with JKS non-adjustable ones and used these bolts. I was having some vibration in the front of my 2015 2 door J/K and decided to bite the bullet and upgrade the stock equipment. My old control arms had wear in the bushing sleeve from the full threaded stock bolts which are harder steel then the bushing sleeve material. I will be doing the front trackbar next and then rear components. This bolt kit supplies all the bolts for the trackbars and lower control arms front and back.The ride in my J/K feels very precise and no more minor vibration,but I really like the JKS brand components and these ,so I will do the rest of the J/K.

The media could not be loaded.  Excellent purchase only wish I had made it sooner. After upgrading my suspension I read a few various articles about this type of hardware replacement. Sure enough there was some slight play in both the factory components and the after market ones between the bolt and the sleeve of the joints. Just another typical factory oversight that as a Jeep owner you chalk up to Chrysler being Chrysler. Even if you do not have a death wobble you can still prematurely wear out the joints by excessive play in between the sleeve and the bolts.Jeep Wrangler JK Track Bar and Lower Control Arm Bolt Upgrade Kit + Extra M14 BoltKit Includes:8 – Lower Control Arm Bolts – 9/16-18 X 4” Grade 8 Hex Head Cap Screw Yellow Zinc (Long Gold Bolts)4 – Track Bar Bolts (2007-2010) – 9/16-18 X 3” Grade 8 Hex Head Cap Screw Yellow Zinc (Short Gold Bolts)1 – Track Bar Bolts (2011-2014) – M14-2.0 X 80mm Grade 10.9 (Silver Bolt)24 – 9/16” Super SAE Flat Washer Yellow Zinc12 – 9/16-18 Grade C All Metal Hex Lock Nut Zinc1 – M14-2.0 Grade 9 Lock NutNotes:1. This kit includes enough Lower Control Arm Bolts to replace both the axle and frame ends of the 4 Lower Control Arms. It is not necessary to replace any of the Upper Control Arm Bolts, therefore the kit does not contain those bolts.2. In 2011 Jeep made a running change to the diameter of both the Front and Rear Track Bar Bolt hole diameter. The 9/16” Bolts are too wide for Jeeps produced after the change requiring the use of the 14mm bolts in stock applications.DO NOT FORCE THE LARGER BOLT INTO THE TRACK BAR.3. Many aftermarket Track Bars and Track Bar Brackets use the 9/16” Bolt. It is recommended to test the fit of both bolts while the Track Bar is disconnected prior to torquing. The correct bolt will easily slide into the hole without excessive play.4. Torque Specs:a. JK Factory Service Manual recommends 125 ft-lbs for Lower Control Arms and Track Bar Bolts. Important Tip: When doing the final torquing of the hardware make sure the vehicle is NOT lifted in the air and is on flat stable ground. It helps to have a buddy give the vehicle a good shake/rock back and forth first and then go back under the vehicle and tighten anything up again. You would be surprised how easily you will think something is seated correctly only to find out it was snagged on a thread and could still be tightened up better.**If you watch the video I have uploaded you will see how loose the stock bolt fits between the trackbar bushings sleeve and the trackbar mounting point in the axle**

My heavy duty axels needed bolts a 1/2" longer. They worked great for all the stock connections.

Ohio diesel parts are great, Amazon not so much. Got sent a box of 12 coarse thread 9/16 x3 1/2 bolts instead of the real product. A quick email exchange with Ohio diesel parts confirmed everything.Make sure you double check the sold by section before ordering.

These bolts are to short and are not safe to run on a jeep jk 2007 through 2018 they only leave .44 of a inch sticking out. that is before placing them through the bracket once you put the washer on you might get a 1/4 of an inch sticking though the LCA Bracket the lock nut is not going to engage as it needs over a 1/2 inch to engage into the nylon lock nut.

I very seldom write a review. A product that does what is expected is expected and nothing to write about., This product fits the "something special" category. I did not realize how the steering in my '14 JKU had slowly deteriorated over time, as the threads on the original smaller bolts ate into the bushings. Each bushing showed evidence of wear when I removed the original bolt with loose shavings evident within the bushing. Each of the original bolts were still on very tight and took a breaker bar to loosen them. You just cannot tighten the slop within the bushing with the original bolts. The result was an improvement much more than anticipated. You maybe able to save a few bucks, if you have a decent hardware store available, but they won't deliver to your door and this was a convenience i was willing to pay for and to be sure I had all the right parts. This is an upgrade I think every JK/JKU owner should investigate.

Does exactly what I expected and even more. I have so far just installed the bolts for the front trackbar but the results have been noticeable. I daily my jku sport and this firmed up the front end. Not a miracle but a noticable difference over bumps and normal driving.I look forward to installing the rest.Only complaint is....instructions were not included. A small sheet or diagram would have been nice. Took about 30 seconds to search online and then I was able to install.Smaller pack of bolts for the front and rear track bar. One different bolt for the frame side trackbar. I didnt use that oneBigger pack for the LCA 8 bolts.Would recommend for the price, can't go wrong. My bolt holes were not worn, fit was snug.14' JKU Sport RK X-Factor 2.5 w front adj trackbar

Works perfect, fixes the factory slop. Deleted all my weird noises and popping problems. Jeep drives much tighter now.
