Hi Everyone - no emergencies this time, the truck is at home... but approaching 200,000 miles, I just replaced a ball joint and the track bar is a little loose.<br><br>It has been very, very disappointing to find how &quot;unrebuildable&quot; the front ends are on these trucks. Mine's a 98 ISB NV4500 4X4... Anyways, I need advice on a track bar. No way in HELL am I paying $340 to replace the factory piece which will be bad again. I've heard a little about the DT trackbar - can any of you recommend this, or others? Cost isn't a huge problem - I just want to go with something more stout than what's under there. <br><br>Please advise if you have a second...<br><br>thanks in advance,<br>-'geek<br>

DT is the best but exspensive.<br>There is also Lukes Link &quot;Repair&quot;<br><br>Napa has a lifetime warranty bar for around $140 or so? I've had one replaced under warramty from the dealer. Think its time to go get another one

I used the Lukes Link. Bout $79 for the link and the bushing. It's rebuildable and adjustable too.<br>

I also used the Lukes LInk. You can talk to Luke on the phone. He guarantees satisfaction. I have had great luck with it. But, while it is definetly a job a home mechanic can do, it is not quite as easy as described in his literature to install.<br><br>I had to wrestle with it a bit, but once it's on, it definetly does what he says it will.<br><br>Good luck<br><br>gary

Like &quot;dieseldude4X4&quot;, I also have a &quot;Luke's Link&quot; on<br>my 96' Dodge CTD and am VERY happy with it!<br>It really helped tighten up the loose feel of the<br>track bar.<br><br>-------<br>John_P
