Worn out track bar bushings

Hey everyone. i got a problem here. My truck has an aftermarket adjustable trackbar and the bushings are shot. The bigger problem is for me is i dont know who made the track bar to get the new bushings. (truck was bought at a used truck lot). The track bar is black with bushings on the ends. Do you guys think stock bushings will fit in the aftermarket one?? I need a quick fit for now cuz i need the truck for the Pocono race this weekend.

Thanks everyone

You can take it out and measure the bushings....if they are poly (and removeable) you can probably get them from NAPA or maybe even O'Reillys. I got mine from NAPA for about $30.

Well it seems i lucked out. The bushing in the aftermarket track-bar is the same size as the factory OEM. I was very disappointed however that in this track-bar the company used a two piece rubber bushing and not a solid poly bushing. It was only a matter of time before thisd happened and gave my truck the death wobble.

moog makes a 2 piece replacement bushing,(poly i think) cost approx 20$ for both ends, not sure what its made of, but they are strong, I've beat them to crap and they far out last the OEM style, put them in 3 different courior trucks, yet to replace any of them
