Front End

[kawaboy13]

I have had some odd wobble and steering issues. Checked it out and the passenger tierod end is loose and the shorter tie rod end up top is also loose. Kept looking around and my less than a year old heim joint adjustable track bar is loose. What are my options and where should I look to replace these parts? My truck is set up with a 4.5 inch lift. Thanks in advance!

MOOG makes very good parts and has done so for decades. Where is your trackbar loose?

Might it be that the hole in the track bar mount is worn? That's a fairly common condition.

I don't believe it is worn out. Is it possible to replace just the end on the track bar? Is it screw in? And do I need to purchase the whole drag link?

Who's track bar are you running? Rubicon Express? Their heim joint wears out pretty fast, I have one in my TJ. I plan on cutting off the heim joint right next to the ball and welding the remains to one of RE's upper control arm build kit RE3791:

I will have to get the ball drilled out to 5/8" to fit the RE mount bolt. These kits are $34.95 at 4WD Hardware

It's actually a motion offroad track bar TRE.

OK, I guess my advice wasn't very helpful, sorry.

All advice is helpful, I just want to make myself clear. I don't have the money or time to order the wrong parts. I need to be sure of my order. Thanks, JP

I need to know if I can unscrew the heim end and replace that with a tre that is $22 or if I need the whole track bar? This is well over a hundred dollar difference. I need to know which route would be better for me.
