Default JKS front trackbar bushing replacment

this rig has JK front and rear TB's... The front TB bushings are shot already and was wondering what to get to replace them.

Is it the same bushing as whats in the stock control arms because I can get them for about $10 at the local parts store?

Or... is there a good upgrade because 2 years seems pretty premature for failure?

After reading some of these posts, I noticed that some were saying to check the bend for "flex". I am getting serious death wobble and have tried everything else.

Thanx guys

How many miles do you have on the trackbar? What type of conditions? Are you sure it's just bad bushings? May be the bracket or bracket bolt hole or a loose bolt? Would definitely change the bushings but be sure to check all mentioned above as well. Chances are that domething else is damaged If you're experiencing DW for some time.

Good luck

For the price of them and seeing they are not going to break the bank, go with the rubber ones instead of poly. As mentioned too, check for some looseness and play in the front end, not just the trackbar.

X2 for the rubber bushings.
