I am going to get under the truck this weekend and let you guys know what I find....

Bummer. Sorry to hear that. What about ball joints? Are they lasting okay?

Exactly. That's why I was asking.

Only had the ball joints in for about a month and a half now... Seem to be holding up, I do no heavy towing, I do have a western plow but obviously havent used it in the past 2 months.... I can only hope they hold up... What do you guys think about the solid steel 3rd gen upgrade for the trackbar?
