Eagle Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 It looks like my wife's 2000 XJ needs a new track bar. It's all stock, so I don't need an adjustable track bar -- OEM replacement is what I want. My Jeep dealer has a genuine Jeep unit -- for $225. Auto Zone has one with a lifetime warranty for $55. BUT ... Multiple reviews on the Auto Zone web site say that their track bar has too large a hole on the axle end -- 10mm, where the factory bolt is 8mm. Has anyone used a stock, OEM replacement track bar from Auto Zone? If so, was the hole on the exle end the correct size, or was it too large?

Eagle Posted August 13, 2016 Author Share Posted August 13, 2016 Does anyone have a factory track bar -- or the bolt -- out of the vehicle and handy? Is the bolt 8mm or 10mm? My local Auto Zone has the track bar in stock so I want to check it out to see if the busing has the correct size ID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hippie66 Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 I recently put one from O'Reilly's on my '97 ZJ. I bought the cheaper one. Sure made a big difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
