Track Bar Replacement

Anybody have any thoughts on a good trackbar replacement for 04’? First it was the axle u-joints, which had to go to the machine shop they were in so tight, probably heated up solid.....and the ball joints....and the tie-rod ends...now the trackbar bushings are shot but not locally available...I guess it's time to get rid of the stock trackbar. Anyone have any ideas on a replacement? Appreciate the input. Thank you!

I've got a Thuren track bar on order. Other than that I considered getting some Lucas links, have heard they work good.

Replaced the Ball Joints with MOOG greaseable/adjustable and went with MOOG on the Tie-Rod Ends too. Not sure of the part numbers, but I can get them tomorrow. Also went with the NAPA greaseable Axle U-Joints, had to send them out to the machine shop the were froze so bad. Couldn’t get the Thuren Trackbar in time so I just ordered the BD Trackbar today, went for around $ 225.00. Thanks everybody for the input - should drive a whole lot better now!
