On the way home from work a half hour ago, a guy who was behind me for a mile or two pulled up beside me at a light and told me that my 1998 TJ is not tracking straight down the road. It's crabbing a little. I'd like to take some measurements to verify his claim. Can someone please tell me 1) where I should measure, and 2) what is the common culprit. (Aaron 18 months or so ago you told me that I probably have the wrong size bolt in one of my rear lower control arms, causing some play. I never did anything about it. Could this be the culprit?) If anyone in the Dover area has expertise with this, I'll come to you for the lesson.
Tracking problem on 98 TJ

It might just be the front axle being a little off-center from the trackbar. Do you have an adjustable trackbar, aftermarket fixed length, or a stock one? I say front trackbar first, since that one seems to have a more drastic change vs the rear. What's your rear trackbar arrangement?

I have a 4" Febtech suspension lift kit, which I believe included trackbars. So I believe I have aftermarket adjustable trackbars. Jim
