I have a slight death wobble and my local mechanic said it was my track bar. So I'm looking for either a slightly used OE one or an aftermarket one.

Try to install this bad boy myself!

I have a stock one. Not sure how much it would be to ship though. Might not be too bad.

Thanks for the reply, let me see if anyone local has one first and I'll let you know.

Not sure what your mechanic checked no don't mean to undermine his work but make sure the holes in the mounts are not wallowed out. Also if it hadn't been done it would be a good idea to stop by your local hardware store be pick up some new grade 8 bolts. The oem ones are 14mm and the holes are 9/16. I replaced mine with shouldered 9/16 grade 8.

Dang, thanks for the info! I'll check the mounts tomorrow for sure. Assuming it's wallowed out I'll need new brackets instead? (I've done some work but still learning the Jeep components!)

And I'll hit my local hardware shop too. Live seen and heard of people doing that but I have not yet.

The best way to check is to unbolt the track bar and look at the holes where the bolt goes through. You can stick the bolt back in and try to wiggle it. With the new 9/16 bolt there shouldn't be any wiggle room. With the stock bolt there'll be a title but it will be obvious if it's been wallowed out.

And as far as replacing the track bar itself, don't take it to a shop. It's very simple, only 2 bolts. 1 on the p/s axle and the other on the d/s frame.
