i got an entire new track bar from the part store for 75 bucks, will this just replace the lukes link assembly? or am i gonna have some trouble tomorrow with this? or should i just return this one and call lukes tomorrow and see what the guts kit cost?

 

Psh. Take that cheap crap back to the store and get the friggin Thuren. I've replaced two Napa track bars and the current one is going quickly. None have lasted even 1 year. When my 3" goes on (summer I hope) a thuren bar is the first thing on the truck.

 

The trac bar you bought is the whole bar. The guts for the Luke's Link won't be more than a few bucks and will tide you over till you can get the Thuren. If you have the money, go ahead for the Thuren.

Call and see how much the guts cost. Couldn't hurt to call. Doesn't really make sense to replace the whole bar with a factory one only to turn around and replace it again later with the Thuren, especially since the bar itself doesn't wear out (your's is still good), just the ends of it do.

 

Thanks, but it generally takes me a long to post... not just in this one case. I am particular in how I word things so I often re-read what I have written multiple times before I submit. It just so happens it took me 15 minutes or so for me to be happy with what I am writing, and thats why there is the big gap.

 

you know purpl had to take his shoes off to be able to even count to 14. lol

 

dont have the money at alllll for the thuren or i would get that, i still have to buy shocks for my truck i think its still got oem on there with 110k miles on them, there done for, gonna get rancho rs5000 for 3 inch lift

 

so called lukes links, he told me how to adjust the link whith a 1 inch washer, said if it still pops or has play call him back and he will send me the guts kit for no charge. say bye by federated cheap replacement bar.

 

no charge? holy cow.you better hurry up and get them before he goes out of buisness. no charge,thats unbelievable. lucky you.

 

The Lukeslink guys are great people to deal with. Come to think of it, I think the guts have a lifetime warantee, hence the no charge.

I have 4 of my 5 tierods lukeslinked including my tracbar! So far, my front end is nice and tight. Got about 10,000 on the links now.

 

well new track bar $75 dollars... calling lukes and finding out i just need to add to washers $0 dollars.... thanks for pointing out i had the lukes i had NO idea that was on there previous owner must of put it on there... thing was packed full of mud, cleaned all that out, put two washers in there, put new grease fitting in there pumped full of grease and no more clunk... did find the left outer tie rod has some rust oozing out of the fitting so im gonna guess thats where my squeak is comming from. thatll be the weekend project when i get a free lift at work... i really gotta update my sig and put a new pic with my roll bar in the truck, and added mods
