Blue88Comanche Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 the track bar mount on dad's MJ needs to be replaced and he wants a new one. where can i buy a factory like replacement? i tried rockauto.com and the local auto part stores with no luck. i know i can go with an aftermarket part but that would mean we would need buy another track bar, or at least all the ones i found any way. if i must go with an aftermarket that is not the same style as stock, what would be the best alternative for a DD? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeep Driver Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 XJs at the junk yard should be plentiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flint54 Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 :agree: , and when I had to replace mine I looked for an XJ that was unmodified and newer. Also checked the TRE hole very carefully after pulling. Think the mount cost me $5, and perhaps 15 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexluthier72 Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 I am also looking at doing this soon. Am I safe to assume by the above statement that a Used XJ trackbar should function fine, or, should one go buy a brand new track bar? -E. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I safe to assume by the above statement that a Used XJ trackbar should function fine, or, should one go buy a brand new track bar?-E. the track bar, or the mount? you can get track bars from rockauto.com for around $20 and up, and they are new.. the mount is what i was looking at Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexluthier72 Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 I was wondering what the thought was on using a JY trac bar, or if I should just buy new? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flint54 Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 I wouldn't waste time or effort on a used track bar unless I was in a real bind. They're readily available new from multiple sources and don't cost a fortune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexluthier72 Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Thanks Flint! Thats the answer I was looking for. They are fairly inexpensive for aftermarket.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinkrun Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 I have been trying to find a good used one(mount) also and no luck. The junk yards around here want 50.00 or more for one which is crazy. Mine is so bad its getting hard to drive and rattling can't tighten it any more. I am thinking of one from the dealer as I am just fed up with what yards want for stuff.

flint54 Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Fifty bucks for a track bar bracket?!? That's insane!! I'm going to the boneyard tomorrow (for a different part) and I'll try and find a good one. There are about 50 cherokees typically in my regular boneyard. Online dealer price for part number 5200-7121 is $159.60, which is even more crazy. I am appalled. It's just a damn piece of stamped sheet metal with a few holes in it, for cryin' out loud. Maybe I oughta pull every one I find................ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinkrun Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 That would be great maybe try to find 2 in case the original poster may wants one. I have been told that people are using them as cores to make heavy off road ones? Theres one on ebay right now he wants $40.00 and $16.00 to ship it.

sinkrun Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I did not see you were from Canada I had a guy check on this before and it was to much. If you do check anyway all I needs the mount one near the steering box I have a moog bar alreday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HardRox-MJ Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 yeah i figured it would be alot.... and didnt think it would be worth it ... but I'm sure sending the mount wouldnt cost much but still probally cheaper to go to a JY if u can find a decent one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
