Default Track Bar help needed....

Hey Guys,

I believe my front track bar is starting to go. I am hearing the noise from the front end when i start to accelerate when a light turns green and when i make turns left and right.... i went underneath and the bushings are starting to go. So i am pretty certain it must be the track bar making this noise.

I wanted to replace it and was curious if their is a better track bar or just get OEM.... if you have any recommendations i am all ears.

(if my analysis is wrong please let me know)

Thanks in advance.

Almost any aftermarket double shear track bar will be better. But the best is from Iron Man Andy

thanks for the help. The Iron Man bar says its for 4" to 8" of lift. I only have a 2" budget boost lift. Do you know if i would still be able to use it?



thanks

If you have a budget boost, you need a stock length. However if you still want one of Andy's he will make you one custom order and probably not charge you extra. He makes each one to order anyway.
