Hey guys, does anyone know how to tell if your track bar is faulty? I got my wife to turn the steering wheel back and forth while I was under the truck (quick note-never make yourself worth more dead than alive) and the joint at the frame bracket (drivers side) moves up and down within itself. This is a grease fitting joint and was wondering if this normal?

 

forum seach will give you information on it.
Also, google search on Dodge Ram Track Bar and you will find tons also.

 

should be no play in it at all , another sign of a bad trac bar is if you find your self chasing the truck down the road another words you keep correcting the steering..

 

Thats exactly what I'm doing.Its like walking a drunk dog.

 

then its time for a change , MO go with MOOG ....Good luck.. rember the trac bar keeps the front axle in trac , so since you are chasing it the axle is moving back and forth not much that you can see it you just feel it...

 

I thought the Thuren trac bar was the way to go. Is Moog good too?

 

Yes it is , for me anyway .... moog is a good stock replacement , since i only have a 3" susp it works for me....

 

the trac-bar from napa has a lifetime warranty.
$149 around here.

 

Depending on how many miles on your truck, when u go to replace the track bar, make sure u look at the whole front end. By the time I got to replaceing mine. My upper and lower ball joints where wasted. Also had to have the whole front drive train rebuilt. Once had that done, wow. Felt like new truck and actually sat an inch higher because joints where so bad. Put the heavy duty bar in and love the feel of my new 97!
