i dont like either on track bars, no wobbles with this

i used to run those on my trac bars until about a month ago when i made my own trac bar mounts and put heims at both ends. heims have no give and help with death wobble where the poly still gives a little. the rubber is a bit quieter though.

heims are good just not easy to find at the auto parts store is my point

I'm personally running a current version Rusty's track bar and the threads on the TRE are M22 x 1.5 LH. I plan to replace mine with a heim joint at some point. Do yourself a favor and pick up an M12 x 70mm low head hexagonal socket bolt and drill out both the axle and bushing sleeve. The M10 that's provided will fit too loose in the axle bracket hole; at least with mine it did. Since doing that, my Jeep doesn't wander so much on the road. You'll see. No matter how hard you think you can tq that bolt down, the leverage is just too much; it'll slide within the slop that's there and get worse over time.

I have the smaller of rustys adj track bars, I have the factory style bushing on the axle side, and a TRE on the frame side. It installs exactly like the stock one, except I adjust it to center the axle.

I dont think I would call it "beef" but it is certainly as heavy as the stock one. For someone like me who has a 3" lift, it allows me to center the axle, and if the TRE or the busing wears out I can replace the at autozone. If I was building a hardcore rock rig then I am sure I would need something heavier. Weekend wheelers shouldnt have any issues with the rustys bar.

Isnt a TRE a heim joint??

Did we answer the OP's origional question??

I use my "fork looking thing" all the time. The fork + a hammer is extremly motivating. Its good tool to have around

I just used it the other day building a shelving unit for my kids play room.

And I just used mine the other day getting my struts back in my new Chevy after a 3in spacer... used as a punch... but I mashed the ends in... time for a new one anyways... lol
