im on my 2nd track bar in less than a yr,, only has 31" tires and no real heavy wheeling, the bushing on the rear keeps going bad( end of the track bar bushin),, just a thought,, what would happen if i machined a solid bushing and replaced the rubber one?,, is it gonna vibrate more than it already does? (i cant find my vibration, the only thing that is moving is the bushing) or am i gonna be breaking stuff now cuz there is no movement,, just wondering,, thx guys

is it the stock track bar? how high is your lift?

FASTMETAL

yes it is a stock track bar,, its only a 3' lift

I'm not sure why it would be eating the bushings so fast. I've had good luck with the energy suspension bushings. is it wallowing out side to side? maybe you need a longer track bar.

FASTMETAL

im no sure either,, when i trun the wheel side to side you can see the bushing moving and not the bolt,, this is the only thing i cant think of thats causing my vibe around 55mph,, its not a death wobble but anoying as hell

sportrider

I have a little movement in the bushings on both of the Jeeps here, I think that's probably normal. is the bolt worn down? that could cause exessive play.

You need a longer trackbar. Look into getting an adjustable one, then if you lift it higher you just adjust it out more and there you go, you're good.

FASTMETAL

right now the TB will move about1/4" before it stops,, i cant see this being normal haha,, theres only a little play in the bolt,,

offroadnut36

....ummm....Yeah....completely....normal...

FASTMETAL

wow really,, i never thought this much movement would be normal,, well i guess my vibration is somewhere else then,, dont know what else to change

superj

what??!!! 1/4 inch is not normal. it should be less then 1/4. 1/4 is a crap load of play

BigVaz

Sounds like I have the same vib that you have... Im stumped... All my bushings seem ok too... Ugh

FASTMETAL

i didnt think it would be,, still wondering if its worth making a solid bushing
