Ive got a 97 ram 1500 5.2L 4x4 Sport package..... It has a rear sway bar and a front trackbar on it currently. My mechanic says (and I agree after the wobbling its doing) that I need a new track bar. I wasnt aware that 1500 sports came with rear sway bars and front trackbars stock? My first question is, do they?
My 2nd question is: If you gentlemen (and ladies perhaps) confirm that track bars are stock parts on 2nd generation rams, then please point me to a decent one... I dont need forged titanium alloys etc because I dont do much if any real hard offroading and the truck isnt even a daily driver. its a farm truck and work truck mostly.

Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Pete in West Townsend MA

 

Uhhh, the 1500's didn't have rear sway bars.
I'd like a pic of that just for giggles.

As far as the trackbar, you NEED a track bar on the front.
That sucker keeps the axle from moving side to side.
You can get by with the stock replacement bar since you don't drive the truck much. However, if you use it alot on the farm, you might need a new one sooner than usual....they die pretty quick sometimes.

 

Just priced out an OEM one at autozone for myself. I think it was like $154.00.
