Adjustable track bar??

[68longhorn]

Getting ready to lower a 71 longbed 4 inches and I am installing a adjustable track bar. It doesn't have directions so how do I adjust it?

The ones I am familiar with have a threaded sleeve you can turn, like on a tie rod. If yours isn't like that, please post a pic of it.

it is like that, just curious how to get the correct adjustment.

use ruler and maesure to have equidistant tires

The object of the track bar is to center the rear end in the frame. As Cdowns mentioned, use a tape measure and get the rear centered. We measure from the back of the tires to the frame to get ours centered..

^^ Yep, that sums it up. Center the rear as much as possible @ ride height. Adjust the bar accordingly & install it. Re-measure, then adjust left or right as necessary by disconnecting the adjustable end of the bar & threading it in or out.

I use a ratchet strap on the frame & suitable location on the rear housing to tug it one way or the other if needed.

Recheck after a week or so of driving.
