Should I have any concerns installing a yeti adjustable track bar? I want to get front end aligned better and beef up the track bar from stock. Possibly a rear track bar eventually as well as rear tires aren’t exactly aligned despite have an alignment done

Question is, will I void warranty let’s say if I develop steering issues down the road like death wobble by putting an adjustable on?

Jeeps lots of jeeps
Any issues that can possibly be related/caused by the aftermarket part won't be covered any longer with the majority of dealerships.

Dealers are typically weasels and they will use whatever excuse they can to not fix your car.

I took my Jeep in last week for the wandering steering problem (second time). The service guy flat out told me if I put rubicon parts on my Jeep it would void the warranty.

I then complained about a loud whistle coming from the passenger A-pillar. He said that it's probably my aftermarket bumper causing the whistle.

I complained about my U-connect pairing with my iphone. He said that it's Apples fault.

I hate dealer service centers. I hate them with a burning passion.

Absolutely the dealership won’t deal with any steering issue if you’ve replaced OEM steering parts with aftermarket parts. Nor should they. I mean, think about it.

However, if you were to encounter problems you can revert it back to stock and if you’ve still got the issue then take it in for service.

If you have a problem and it disappears when you put stock parts back on, you know where the problem lies. If the problem persists, you take it in and see if they can find and correct the underlying cause.
