Ok so I bought an adj. trackbar from Rusty's and keep destroying the moog tre on the frame side.
It is torqued to spec and has been replaced twice since purchase.
Am I doing something wrong or do I need to upgrade to a hiem joint or something?
Driving me nuts please help...

Does it look like it is at an extreme angle? Then if your wheeling and your axle is dropping down it could push that joint past it's limit and trash it.

Cool

pictures are a great idea, perhaps you could get a close-up and also maybe a flex shot . There must be strain/angle force that is wiping out the link
