I'm trying to replace my track bar, but I'm having trouble fitting the balljoint-end into the hole.

My car is standing on jack stands in the front.
The new and old track bar are the same lenght.
I've tried jacket up the car, so the Track bar hole is lifted higher.


Do any of you have any tips on how to re-mount this ****?

Get someone to turn your steering wheel a little while you align the ball joint end with hole. Helped me I've put 3 on my truck since I've had it

I will try. But I don't understand it.. Because one end is a bracket on the axle, and the other is on the frame. noone of them are movable afaik.

support the truck at the frame and let the axle hang

I would also install the frame end first, then the axle end

It's 1997,

I will try to put the jack/stands on the frame instead of axle.
