The track bar nut can't be tightened anymore. The track bar still moves up and down when I turn the tires. So I must need a new bushing, right?

I have the clunking sound whenever I turn left..

Im talking about the track bar, not the drag link if thats what you think I'm thinking.

I know that the bushing definately has to be replaced. What are the parts that connect the track bar to the axle? Everything looks fine on that side.
How much can I get the replacement parts for?
just a suspension that has 11 years of dirt on it. =]

 

I'm trying to follow you but you lost me...on the trackbar is tight it can be turned by hand? The thing the trackbar connects to on the passenger side is the axle. The other picture is where your sway bar connects to the sway bar link.

 

Sorry, I revised it. I think and type too fast sometimes... edit that stuff out of your post plz lol

 

The Bushing is at the axle mount, that is at TRE at frame mount. It is NOT replaceable on a stock arm.. So If the axle end is OK, you need a new bar...

 

Looks fine as ****,. if you need new bushings or mts, thats idferent dut that look better that ther track bar i broke of my 87 just dirt roading it

if its broke that easy get your guy to spot weld it and its fellow. after the weld i had no busts from my trac bar.

BUT: that looks like a bad steering dampener, or whatever tey call it, like 20 bucks at a good pats store and does wonders

 

School me, what does TRE stand for?

Are you saying the bushing is not replaceable? My buddy says you have to press it.

 

It is bad. I don't think it has been replaced in 6 years. :/

Nothing is broke or needs welded but basically everything in the suspension but the shocks and greasing has not been done since it came from the factory.

 

Rubber Bushing at the axle end is replaceable. The Tie Rod End (TRE) at the Frame end is not. If you can get the TRE out without mangleing it, you could replace the boot on it, but the the TRE is part of the bar. Stock Trackbars cost about $50.. If you are lifted or planning to lift, I would look into an Adjustable Trackbar.

 

2wd so no lift for me. Never been a fan of lifted vehicles.

I believe I can get the track bar out without destroying the tie rod end. I think that side is holding up fine. We'll see what happens. Thanks for the help.
