Default Draglink ends and track bar bushings?

Diagnosing my death wobble and was told my heim joint and rubber bushing on my rock krawler track bar need replacing and also both drag link ends. Curious to know the best place to find them and possible part numbers too if anyone knows?? Thanks in advance. Was quoted 460.00 for all that plus a stabilizer with 200.00 labor. So trying to do it myself. Also have a 2.5 inch lift it that matters

I'm selling the knuckle end of a factory draglink. If I can save you some money let me know.

Rock Krawler can get you replacement joints.

Draglink ends...MOOG has some good factory style replacements or you could look into a flip kit from Synergy or the like.

A new steering stabilizer will not fix DW...is there something physically wrong with the one you have?

Call rock krawler. They can get you the parts. Unless the flex joint (rubber side) of the trackbar is damaged then you can just order the replacement bushings and sleeve to go in the joint at half the cost of the whole joint. Your looking at less than $50 or maybe a little over for everything. You can put everything on yourself. Take a current measurement of your trackbar now so all you have to do is adjust it back to the same length after you repair it and slap it back on yourself.

Also look into some grade 8 9/16" bolts.

As far as the draglink ends then I guess moog. You don't want to do a draglink flip. Or not the kit at least. If you want a new bar then synergy I think is the best and can be run in stock position.

The bushings for the frame side joint is P/N: RK0226B by the way. I recently called them about this and will probably be ordering also.

i tried the 9/16 bolts but would no fit in the sleeve. And was told not to do the flip kit unless I was well over 3 inches.

Right don't do the flip kit. The kit is the draglink plus the tb bracket. You can get just the draglink and run it in the stock position and it's not a flip. But that's only if you want a different draglink. I think you would be fine just replacing the ends.

Possibly. I was driving when I called so I might have missed it.
