Rubber is better from what I've heard.

I have JKS and have had zero problems. I've never heard of anyone else having problems with this track bar so I'd like to hear more on what problems you experienced.

I also have the JKS trac bars front and rear. Zero problems. However, there are alot of stories of people having problems-they seem to be from those who wheel alot harder than me though. Rocks, extreme crawling, etc...-WhiteWidow had his fail this past weekend,-(see trails & tales)- but we know how he rolls!-there's even a YouTube video of the JKS trac bar flexing like crazy from just the driver turning the wheel. IDK, but I've been happy with mine so far.http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnZnuOKq85c-link doesnt seem to work, so just type "JKS trac bar flex" in the search line on YouTube.

Not yet and poly typically splits in the long run.

Isn't the track bar flexing a bit when moving the wheel normal? I mean any track bar is going to have bushings that give, thats the whole point..

I thought it was normal cycling of the suspension.

X2, I have the JKS track bars on my Jeep and I have installed them on quite a few customers vehicles and I have never seen or heard of any problems with there products. There adjustable control arms and track bars are about the most heavy duty products that I have seen

I have a Full Traction track bar and just recently installed a JKS track bar on a buddy's JK. I have had no problems with my FT and after seeing and feeling the JKS I would have no problem putting one on mine.
