well just an FYI I replaced my trac bar with the moog problem solver trac bar part# DS1413 its a lot beefier then others I have seen .2 weeks ago I replaced 1 on a 97 and it was a standard moog that was a lot smaller too like the napa one.this is supposed to have a double bearing in the end. for what its worth my.02

 

looks very strong! I'll look at one for my baby too.

I probably should have gone that route instead of the NAPA one.

 

I don't know about Moog but doesn't NAPA's have a life time guarantee? That would be worth a lot to me. I put a Luke's Link on about two years ago and it is still working good.

Are the moog trac bars available anywhere or do I have to order one? I had the "boot" split on my NAPA one and I didn't pump it full of grease. I like the heft of the moog.

 

Here in Alberta the Moog has a lifetime and the Napa is 1 year

 

A Moog trac bar solved all of my problems on my 1998.

 

Check the clearance to the diff cover. The standard moog trac bar I installed on my truck has some clearance issues. On big bumps the upper part (the balljoint end shown in the picture) hits the diff cover. It 'self clearanced' a bit but I do have to watch it over railroad tracks and the like. Not sure if this is common or not.

 

I have the moog trac bar on my truck 130K and counting. The bigger ball will hit the diff cover without a leveling kit. I had to notch out one of the reinforcements on my aftermarket cover for it to work without hitting it.

The moog trac bar is available from Carquest. All of their steering components are moog.

 

I checked my truck and test drove it over RR tracks no problem yet

 

I've had this Moog trackbar on my truck for about 35000 miles now and no problems at all. It's definately alot beefier than the stock one. I got my track bar from a local auto parts store, you just have to fine one that sells moog. Also from what I have read, a lukes link will not work on the problems solver track bar because the balljoint end is too big. That just an FYI for anyone wondering.
