Where can I get new bushings for a solid steel adjustable trackbar?

I have the adjustable 03 trackbar from solid steel and the rubber bushings at both ends are shot after about 90k miles (2years) Does anyone know where I can get some new ones? Or preferibly some hard poly ones or something that may last longer? They dont answer the phone or call back over at SS and I'd really like to get this fixed before it gets anyworse and the death wobble comes back
Thanks.

I have not only because my guess is if I call them and say "I have a track bar from solid steel" the will say "who?"

Why don't you just contact Solid Steel directly. Explain the problem to them. They might have an updated bushing and even send you one no charge. When I ordered my steering stabilizer when they first came out they answered all my questions and were very nice to deal with. http://www.solidsteel.biz/

I called enterprise a few days ago. It seems they only have the rubber bushing.

I have tried calling solid steel 2 times a day every day for the past week. I've also left voicemails. No answer on the phone and no return calls. Maybe there out of buisness. I think in the future I'll be going with another brand.

Captain,
I do not know your real name, however, to my knowledge I have not received a message for bushings from PA. Though I take many calls and return many more everyday.
I have been out of the office quite a bit lately but I check msg's frequently throughout the day and am usually able to return the calls the same day or next day.

Regarding your bushings, I will send you out a new set fast delivery free of charge. I am not sure why your bushings wore out in 90k miles, they shouldn't have, however we have since switched to Energy Suspension Graphite Polyurethane Bushings and have had no problems whatsoever.

Please email me at Russell@solidsteel.biz with your address, or you can call me at 306-842-4346.
If I receive the messages I do call back.

Regards,
Russell Tessier
Solid Steel

Russell , I got the track , track bar kit & the stabilizer .
But haven't put in the TB or TBK yet because I was wanting to come up with a different way of dealing with the bolt & tapered collar that goes through the original ball joint to frame , I would like to not have to drill out for just bolt , or find a smaller bolt & tapered collar , for a couple reasons , in case I move on to an other truck and because I can not reach with drill to drill out with dissemble or right angle drill I do not have .
Any options ? Thanks John
