Finally built a trac bar! (1 Viewer)

[Trollhole]

Took it out last night and beat the s*** out of it with a couple big clutch drops and WHAM! Broke it! I really need to get better at welding! Guess there is only 1 way to learn.......back to the drawing board.......it actually broke right at one of my welds, on the front end of the trac bar itself where the heim joint was welded to the upper bar of the trac bar........ Better to break it in front of my house than on the trail though

So you welded the joint it's self into that tube? What welder did you use?

John do you have any other pictures where it attaches to the axle?

Heres mine. If i could change anything about it, it would be the angle of the shackle(i assume it isnt supposed to be a 90 degree angle) and to use bushing in the system at both ends and not so many hiem joints.




I would really like some bushing on this end here:
