Exclamation Trackbar question

I ordered a new TRE, but it wont be here until monday or tuesday. Is there a way to just replace the bolt in the mean time? Can I just take it out, put another bolt in there with a nut and call it a day(just for the weekend)? Any help would be great. Thanks

I don't think that you can just put a bolt in a broken TRE

Doesn't work like that, bro. That threaded part with the nut on it actually has a ball on the end of it that fits into a socket in the tierod end. A regular bolt won't cut mustard. I do know a way you can fix it faster if you have Rusty's adjustable Track bar. The TRE used with the Rusty's track bar is identical to the OEM TRE that connects the passenger side of your steering tierod to your draglink. I have 2 part numbers that were given to me directly from Rusty's cutomer service rep.

I got a MOOG TRE that fit my track bar perfectly for $30.00 at Napa.

Sweet, thanks man. Will that fit on the drivers side as well? Or is that a different part number?
