My stock pieces had 184,000 miles on them. The ball joint seals had some splits so I just wanted to replace them all. Figured it was time.
The track bar. They are bent normally. Not sure if you mean it is bent beyond the stock bend. If you want just that piece, you'll probably only be able to get a stock replacement. The only difference is who makes it and how they build their ball joints.

Sounds like you are talking about the tie-rod. The track bar runs from the frame to the axle. The drag link runs from the pitman arm to the tie-rod.
And so you know, the tie-rod is suposed to have a bend in it. If you bent it bad, it wouldnt go down the road in a straight line.

So, I just upgraded my steering to the new steering for the 03-08 HD's. Makes my steering look like twigs. I like working at a dealership.
