This is the third trackbar in about 10000 km's, this is getting stuuppeed... Is there something else wrong or what ? Am gonna try the Lukes link I think, will it last longer or what ?

 

close to 55 K on my original and it's still within spec. Mostly highway use though.

 

I've got 66k on my original and it's still tight. That's with the alignment being off for 2 years, some severe off roading, city/highway driving, 2" leveling kit, and 33" tires (don't know what the 35's are gonna do to it). The lukes links should help. You can also order the DSS track bar. It's supposed to be really nice also. Maybe someone will chime in here with a link to the website.

 

The moog track bars are much higher quality than the mopar. My 1998 gasser would go thru one every 30,000 or so. I never realized how bad my first one was until I got it fixed. I switched to moog after the second mopar went bad and it was still perfect when I traded it with 40,000 on the moog track bar.

 

The Luke's Link will run you $70 + shipping. It won't work on a Moog bar. The OEM is 1 5/8" and the Moog is 2" on the ball stud end.

 

Pot holed roads eat trackbars. I went though three in 60 k before I fixed the road.

 

what about DT track bar?

 

Thats the problem around here the roads are almost all pot holes... Will the moog unit last longer than the Spicer unit. The spicer has a life time warranty buts a real pain the but to be changing it all the time.... How do the Lukes links stand up. Will they outlast the moog ?

 

My feeling is any of them will wear out fast on rough roads. Best bet is lifetime guarantee. My Napa bar has been replaced twice, no questions. After the first time replacement is a breeze, 5 minute job.

 

I noticed that the same guy who makes the steering box stabilizer (DSS) is now making a bracket to adapt the 3rd gen track bar to the 2nd gen trucks.

 

Here you go......
