Post subject:  KK Stock Track Bar hitting aftermarket diff cover
Hi,
A few days ago I had a new diff cover installed on my 2010 KK. After all the work was done the dealer mechanic said since the new cover was "beefier" than stock the track bar may make contact with it over large bumps, etc. But he said it's nothing to worry about. However, I have driven it twice since then and even over small bumps and dips in the road, I can hear the track bar (or maybe sway bar) bumping against the new diff cover. So 2 questions: 1) how big of an issue is this (other than the annoyance at the clunking noise)? and 2) what are my options for eliminating this issue?

This is the cover that's on there now: https://www.quadratec.com/p/crown-autom ... ysler-8.25

Prob should have gone with ARB since it seems to be a slightly slimmer profile: https://www.quadratec.com/products/12011_900X_B_PG.htm

Thoughts and experience appreciated.

Thanks!

well, there is no need for that upgraded diff cover, and my stock diff cover has been just fine off-roading. My fuel tank underside is all beat up, but not a scratch on the stock diff cover.

So I did end up ordering a black ARB cover, and I found this old thread, which seems to indicate it will fit better than the Crown cover I have on there now - meaning no contact with track or sway bars: viewtopic.php?f=88&t=79772&p=840358&hilit=ARB+diff+cover#p840358

Can anyone confirm before I take it in to get it swapped out once again?

I ordered a custom pan-hard/track bar from SPOHN Performance and have not had any issues with it hitting my aftermarket diff cover.
