Hey there guys,
I asked this in an earlier thread but it got buried, I wanted to know if there are instructions to the procedure of reaplacing the trac bar bushing since mine is bad

the one on the end on the front dif housing ? very easy.. take bolt out.. take both halves out and put in new... Advance discount auto sells a mogo bushing thats very hard ... and only 13 bucks... just put one in mine..

If you mean the frame end its not a bushing its a tie rod end.If its bad you have to replace the whole bar.

The one I got was a 1 peice. Havent done it yet lets just say I think Im in the same boat as CL Cherokee. I couldnt get it out( well time wasnt on my side either)

mike albo

Burn it out.

I'm not quite sure which one im talking about myself, the shop said my trac bar was bad...and lifted up an end which has like a grease fitting on it showing the movement and said thats how its bad...so is that just a bad bushing or is the whole thing bad?

Hommersimpson

the part on left side or drivers side... if it was side on drivers then you need whole track bar i guess.. if you cant buy ends sepretly... i have a aftermarket one so i dont know :{ maybe time to upgrade

cl_cherokee

yes it is the drivers side..i posted pics somewhere in an earlier post...how hard is installing a new trac bar?

Here, here is more of what I was talking as to what was going on

Unbolt the pass. side, and after removing the cotter pin and castle nut use a pickle fork or tie-rod removal tool and a BFH to remove the drivers side. Install a new trac bar. JMO

Go to an adjustable... The stock ends are replaceable but seeing how u are asking how to get it off I'm guess u do not have tools needed to replace it. Buy adjustable its so much easier.
