Best Source for '97 Track Bar?

Where's the cheapest source for a track bar for a '97? The tie-rod end on this one is waayy loose, which makes it a real blast on icy roads. Thanks for any help,

Chris

I fixed mine with Lukes Link about $60 and I am very satisfied with it. I got it from his web site.

I went with the Thuren a couple years ago. He was slow, but there is no denying the quality of the track bar. It's a pain to set up, but once it's set it's great.

You can get a Duralast from AutoZone and it comes with a lifetime warranty. Only problem is you will be changing it every 6 months. All of the stock bars are junk.
My THUREN will be here on Mon.. Spend the money once and be done with it.

I also would recommend thuren. It will take a little while for the bar to get made and shipped to you but it is worth it. It is a much easier install than the 3rd gen conversion and is really tough.

I used the Adj SS 3rd gen style bracket and SS bracket about 1 year ago now. A little pricey when adding the 2nd to 3rd gen bracket and TB up but I'm very satisfied. Thuren makes a good setup too.

Many thanks!!

I just checked Thuren's website & read the installation instructions: very nice! This is for an e-challenged buddy to whom I'll strongly recommend the Thuren set-up, although I don't know how much he'll want to wait to fix the Green Wanderer. Thanks again everyone,

Chris
