Default trac bar fix or replace

Well guys I'm starting to get a clicking noise from the Trac bar. Only happens when I turn left. Grease the fitting, goes away for awhile then starts clicking again. Really dnt wnt it to break on a trail. So I'm looking at replacements.
I'm wondering what yr XJ, or ZJ could replace with.
I know someone with 89 Trac bar from XJ, would that work?
Specs on truck is 3.5 RE lift sitting on 32"s wild peaks.
Again thnx for taking the time to read this post and any info is appreciated.
Also would the exhaust manifold from 89 xj fit on my ,95?

With 3.5" of lift you need an aftermarket adjustable trackbar.. To center the axel. The OEM bars are too short.. That said your clicking is likely from either a wollowed out mount hole and or bad bushing at the axle.. The bushing can be replaced and the hole can be repaired. The TRE end of the oem bar cannot be repaired.

Thnx. Its most likely worn bushing. When I grease it. The clicking goes away. Well for awhile at least.
