Default Stock track bar replace bar or bushings?

Hey guys. So I'm in the process of collecting the parts to rebuilt the front end of my 2007 JK Rubicon, and I'm wondering if I need to order an entire track bar, or if the bushings are replaceable?? Any help would be appreciated. I've read something about 2010 on being different than my '07

Considering an OEM track bar can be had brand new for $55 and even free if you find someone with a take-off, I would just opt for a replacement.

$227.00 from the stealership. Ouch. Answered my own question. Bushing aren't replaceable on a '07.

Go on Craigslist and look for a stock replacement, usually pretty cheap. No need to upgrade to a heavy duty one if your only running stock tires.

The 1st link below is directly from a dealership in my area. Most dealers have Mopar online ordering websites where the prices are reduced if purchased online rather than over the counter.

Craigslist is a good option for OEM track bars as well. Lot's of people buy new, and then replace them when installing a lift+larger tires and want to dump their take offs with hardly any miles on them. I've seen some on CL which says, "free" but you need to take all the parts since I need to clear them out of my garage.

Are you lifted? If so, just going with rubber bushing longer control arms from Teraflex or even Skyjacker will correct your camber for less than $200.00.

It's my understanding that the bushing can't be replaced on the factory '07 track bar.. anyhow, new track bar is in hand. The front-end shop I use wont mess with installing used parts, and knows me well enough to be able to tell if I purchased a new part or a used one . It'll go in next week for a font end rebuild
