Hahah alright fellas I know.. I know.. the P.O. installed the rusty's. Not enough cash flow to upgrade just yet. I was just wondering if I can go to an auto parts store and pick up a replacement for the time being. The bolt broke in half so my track bar is just attached on one side.

what end broke? pic?

if it's just the tie-rod end, it should just be a chevy end.

take whatever you can salvage to an auto part store, they can match it up for ya.

if it's just the bolt on the axle end, just replace it with a grade 8.

Looks like they list the different tie rod ends they use with their trackbar including part numbers right on their site...

http://rustysoffroad.com/mm5/merchan..._Code=SUS_TRAC

OEM part # 52005739
OEM part # 52005740
MOOG part # ES3095R

Hope this helps!

Just get yourself either an RE or JKS trackbar and call it a day.

Its because the initial thread said "Rusty's" in it. Takes folks a little time to re-focus on the problem at hand.

I had a Rustys track bar and didnt have any problems with it braking, however I was having DW problems and a few shops recommended replacing the track bar first as it wasnt stout enough. Ended up being the tires.

Rustys stuff is okay, its the shipping thats absolutely rediculous. I considered another lift from them but when they told me how much the shipping was I said thanks but no thanks

Being the tires? As in, unbalanced, not aligned, or what? I have DW now... rotating the tires seems to have 'cured' it temporarily.
