Default wanting to buy the best trac bar

i got a trac bar from asales repof napa, that was a demo model to see if they were going to carry this model in thier stores, it looks like a stock trac bar but, its adjustable at one end,and the other end didnt have a grease fitting in it ( the ball joint end i guess)i'll post some pics later if you guys want,i had a front end guy install it, and i have about 4000 miles on it and he checked up on it , and said it already has play in it, my old trac bar was shot ,this one was free so was the labor, but now i need a better trac bar, whats the best ones out there,?that you ppl had experience with,i dont care about theprice, thank you

I've heard good things about the one from Thuren. Over on Pavementsucks.com they talk about it some also if you want to read more about it.

Download the installation guide and look it over. Wasn't hard at all. The toughest part was drilling the crossmember with a 3/4" hole saw. It's adjustable so there should be no problem with the lift.

EDIT: Haven't been tracking how long I've had it on but ... um ... well over 40,000 miles ... maybe 4 years or so.
