Track bar repair kit

[Archive]

Has anybody installed a track bar repair kit from Linstad Alignment? Looks like a nice kit, and for $62. 00, very cost effective. I have developed the dreaded track bar clunk along with a leaking pitman seal on my steering box. Why does DC install a track bar with a plastic cup in it on such a heavy truck? Now that the weather is warming up it's time to address these two problems. After reading in issue #27 about taking care of problems before they come in threes, I better get these out of the way before something else crops up. DC won't warranty these two problems because of my lift kit. As far as the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, I might as well been talking to the wall. When I mentioned this to two different dealers, I got the deer in the headlights look. If anybody would share their experience with the Linstad kit, I would appreciate it. -Thanks, Glen

Glen,
I have installed the track bar kit and like it. You need a grinder and a welder to install. If you don't have this equipment, you can get a complete track bar from them or from NAPA.
