I need to replace the track bar on my truck, and I was wondering if it is possible to rebuild it instead of spending a bunch of money for a new one. This may seem like a stupid idea, but I am just curious if anybody has ever tried.

Of course I understand there may be safety issues involved, so it may not be the best idea. I want to see what opinions I get.

I did see from a search that Moog is the most recommended brand of replacement part. On Advance Auto's site, I think it was right around $153. There was one on there for about $400 that is adjustable, but I don't have any intention of paying THAT much.

 

There's a kit called lukes link to rebuild it but it's just a bad design. Look into one with heim joints from topguncustomz or thurren and you'll never have a problem again. I put a replacement one on mine before I lifted it and it didn't last 6 months and was clunking again. 400 now is better than 150 every couple months.

 

that's not that bad of a deal. besides from seeing your other post. the trac bar takes on alot of punishment with the slight lift. I have already planned on getting the trac bar(BDdiesil's)adjustable up to 4inch lift.

 

Rockauto.com has the moog for 102 or 105. Some where in that area.

 

Heim joints wear really fast if your daily driving it. They are better made for crawlers. Less than a year youll be back where you started. Get a new track bar, if your running a lot of lift [4" or more] get an adjustable track bar. That is one of my next buys for my latest build

 

Or, convert it to the third gen style, with bushings on both ends......

 

What all is involved in doing that, HeyYou?
