undo that first as it determines the entire project. AWell I get my heat gun ready, but hopefully like someone said the factory only went crazy on red loctite after MY19, mine is an 18.
If you had to enlarge the factory mount holes you have an alignment issue somewhere or something out of spec. I've helped do several Synergy braces and have a Rusty's on mine and in all cases the trackbar bolt slides right through once you have everything fitting right.I don't wanna scare anyone from doing this mod, but I had a tough time getting the track bar bolt holes to line up. I tightened it, I loosened it, I beat on it with a hammer but the holes would never line up. What I finally ended up having to do was use a step bit to enlarge the hole (about 1/8 larger) on the actual frame so the bolt would finally go thru. I figured no harm since the Synergy bracket would be what the track bar was actually using for support and fastening. But still it was a little disheartening I was having so much trouble. I watched countless installation videos and noted some had to tap it in or use a impact, but none seemed to have the issue that I was encountering.
Oh and for the pitman nut, mine broke fairly easy (to my surprise) and once I got about half-way, it started to get tight from the thread locker but nothing you couldn't handle with a ratchet
It could be some welding crud keeping the brace from fitting properly against the frame causing the issue - which should have led to grinding the flash off for a proper fit and not enlarging the mounting holes.
