Default Rear Track Bar Noise

Can anyone advise on what to look at to diagnose my problem?

Have a Full Traction Adjustable Rear Track Bar, did a run yesterday, I hit a rock with it at some point (nice granite pin stripes). Now whenever the jeep sways or body rolls, I hear a clicking/popping noise coming from the rear. When we were on the trail is was sqeaking and clicking. A couple guys pushed the jeep back and forth to simulate body roll while I put eys and hands on the track bar. Definitely could feel the clicking in the bar.

Let me know if anyone has a fix or something I can look at.

You'll need to pull it out and re-grease it real good, inside and outside of the bushing. Or do like I did and install a zerk fitting into the end of it (like FT should have done) so you can pump it full of grease while its on the Jeep.

Thanks it seems to have gone away after I unbolted it and wiggled it around. Just hope I don't have to do this every time I graze a rock with it.

This is the problem if it makes noise it is loose. Tighten it up. I am amazed at how many post are about this topic. No matter what trackbar you have if it is making noise it is either dry or loose. The only thing there is a bushing and a sleeve it is not very complex.
