I am pretty sure I need to give my track bar ends some TLC.. slight vibrations and the back roads beating the hell out of my rig I'm afraid have caused some wear.. I want to replace with a tighter fitting bolt.. there was a thread that had a lot of information on replacing stock bolt with tighter fitting bolt.. any help?

Not that.. not so much looking for strength but a bolt that is like .005 bigger. Some small size that fits in the hole better than the stock bolt. Less shimmy. I have done soooo much and still have some shimmy in front end.

That's what that product is, isn't it? The diameter of the bolt is bigger, thus preventing ovaling and the possibility of death wobble.

Watch the video my friend...

I guess I missed that. I thought the bolts on the website were only stronger. Not a bigger size. Thats EXACTLY what I need!

The bolt you want is a 9/16 grade 8 or better 3"long if you don't want to buy the kit. It fits the stock track bar tighter then the stock one and it pushes right in. You will need to replace the nut as well just make sure you get a metal locking one ( top lock)and not a fiber one (fiber lock).
