Let us know and if it is a problem with the trackbar we will get you fixed up.

if the hole wallowed out then you have to make sure you keep the bolt tight.

When I got mine a few months back, I took David's advice and went with a JKS rear; was buying a Full Traction Front from a friend/forum member. So far, no issues with either [other than the fact, I did find out the hard way that a Full Traction Front Adjustable Trackbar and a Rough Country Dual Steering Stabilizer don't play well together!].

Very happy with the JKS Rear . Even the F/T Front is solidly built and haven't really had any issues to speak of there either.

Thanks for replies so far, was wondering about the bushings in the different types, and which ones are lasting longer.

I can say that we have not had a bushing go out on a JKS or a Teraflex.

I had JKS front and rear trackbars as well as JKS front lower control arms on an OME lift. Everything performed flawlessly and the jeep drove great. I would use JKS again in a heart beat.

Thanks David. I find it hard to believe that it's the jks. But that right there is the reason why if you sell it i'll buy it from you!

I have a JKS up front, love JKS products. I have always kept it torqued down to 125 and somehow 2 weeks ago I got DW on the interstate (had torqued down 2 days prior) going 80 and after searching finally found the holes wallowed out was the cause. Ordered a currie track bar bracket today. I don't know how the holes got walled out, bushings on the trackbar look perfect still. Had it on for about 5 months. Thought about trying a full traction or the teraflex to see if it makes a difference. Not sure but other than that,( and like I said, I don't know that the JKS was the culprit) I like the jks a lot.
