Let me reiterate:


MEGA SUPER CRITICAL!!!

A LOT of DW problems are from track bar issues.

It has more to do with the geometry of the upper and lower links than the strength of the mounts.

The only way to keep an axle in position without a trackbar is to triangulate the links.
Yes it can be done, but it isn't worth the effort or expense for a rig that sees primarily DD duties.
