Yes it's adjustable and completely eliminates the stock joint. I didn't want to replace the same type of joint only to have to replace every year given that I will be hitting the trails with it. If I was strictly street driving, then the $140 Moog would have been just fine, which is mostly like what you are referring to.

C'mon HeyYou, I'm sure you knew about this with your grand knowledge. The typical replacements are all $380+ (i.e., solid steel).

 

no S***!!!!!! i got a MOOG track bar for 118 out the door from advanced. you have to have them price match to Rockauto for that price btw.

 

I've got a Brand new Thuren 0" to 3" trac bar in the box for 300 plus shipping if it not too late.

 

^that is very kind of you. I did look at Thuren as one of the choices. However, the BD one was already shipped. Again, I'm really very appreciative and would have taken you up on it had I inquired better earlier.

I'm sure someone around here would be interested.

 

I'm having a heck of a time getting these out. I have a BJ remover.

Lower BJ



Upper BJ




Anything particular about these? I have noticed a difference with other years that mine point down, while other point up.


Also a heck of a time getting the drag link end out of the pitman arm. Slammed it with 3lb sledge like the others, but it won't cry uncle. Pitman arm puller isn't grabbing very well. But I did just go get a piece plate steel to help with surface area.

Thanks for any input.

 

hmmm, ok. Well was doing the lower one wrong. Found the video (duh) that explained the direction to push it down as opposed to up.

For the upper one though I was doing it correctly. However, only the stud came out. The casing remains in the yoke. Am I up a creek here?

You can either press it out, or, use a bfh, and a drift (a punch with a flat point.) and drive it out. I usually belt 'em a couple times with the ball end of a ball peen hammer, just to get 'em started, then, they usually pop right out.

 

Thanks. Ended up getting a great fit with a 1" socket. Easy Peasey.

Can't say the same for the lower one though. I have to get some borrowed muscle.

 

Thise ball oints look good. However the bushings are cracked and withered.

Does anyone sell a polyurethane bushing kit for our trucks?

 

You think?

Seriously?
