Anyone hear anything about these, since i'm replacing mine i though this might be a good one? I saw it in an ad in diesel builder mag

Looks like I found something in the archives but no feedback, so I'm taking one for the team, Cheers,

Well it's in, I will see how it goes on the park road but seems to be solid on pavement, here which is somewhat like dirt roads elsewhere. Wouldn't a shop be nice... .

Please let us know how it performs

Can do, it looks burly enough anyway.

Looks purdy! I replaced my stock one with a Moog track bar and it seems to be holding up quite well.

I had a Moog a few years back and it's really not any better than stock. I then went to a Solid Steel Industries 3rd gen unit and now to a Don Thuren 3rd gen unit which seems to be the best. The Thuren unit has larger and superior bushings that don't wear out under pressure.

SMikel - sorry I didn't see this till after you purchased.

I would have recommended the 3rd gen adjustable track bar. Such as displayed on this site Solid Steel. biz.

It was a pricey but the results were so sweet I can't remember how much it really was?

 

[Arctic Taco]

No worries, I think this may last for a bit, and I will be ready to do the full on modifications for the Solid steel unit. The rare parts unit looks pretty solid, and with the DSS and replacement of the rest of the steering linkage to establish a baseline we'll see.
Thanks though,
Cheers

Should last you pretty good time. I think my 305/70/16's had a bit to do with the stock track bar wear.
