I've bent my chromoly steering..... And seen many bent Dom..... I agree with the no sch40.... But I think hrew could be an acceptable alternative, assuming you go thicker. (See above post)

the difference is that using the Dom and chromoly tubes is that they can be bent back. HREW can't and wouldn't be very safe to do so, considering its seam welded.

If he's gonna play on the rocks, DOM/chromoly tubes is the way to go.

If he's just gonna hit the mud (if u do, we are gonna look down on you. Lol) or just drive on the street/mall crawl. I would concede that HREW tubes may be ok.

I still say you're over thinking it and hrew would be stronger then the factory bar..... Unless in an accident or bad flop, I have never seen a bent track bar

it cost only couple dollars more, I think that's cheap insurance.

I agree. But that doesn't make hrew a death threat.

So I now see and agree why you say DOM, no welded seam. Thank you.

SO, If I go with 1/4 wall DOM 1" ID, 3/4" heim (one or both ends), that should be sufficient for track bar?

Will the .120 wall not be strong enough for track bar purposes?

Whenever there was a surge of needed power (IE fan kicking on/turning on KC lights) it would shut off, and there would be a clicking from under the dash like a turn signal, and the courtesy lights on the floor would flash.



New battery solved it. I knew it was getting old and tired, especially on cold days. Should have known better.
