| Description of the problem | Jeep 07 wrangler rubicon unlimited four door. Front track bar bracket failure. The metal is very thin and very poorly welded, on the outside only. This leads to weakness and failure, particularly under high stress driving maneuvers such as heavy braking on a downhill corner, driving on snow or ice, hitting potholes or speed bumps. Once separated, the front axle then follows whatever groove exerts the most force, creating a dangerous and unacceptable loss of control over the vehicle. |
