Default Track Bar Bushings

I need to know where to find bushings for a stock track bar on a 02 WJ (Grand Cherokee) or what track bar bushings will also fit if any other Jeeps have the same. Any advice is appreciated.

No, not one of those. Not a single one of those websites is even close. Track bar is a steering component, not a suspension component (technically.)

a track bar does nothing for steering. A track bar locates the axle laterally underneath the jeep. Id call it a suspension component, not steering

Therein lies the crux! There is a lot of support out there for ZJs. WJs, not so much! IDK for sure, but I'd be willing to bet they are the same.

Would you not consider death wobbles a steering issue? And a worn out bushing on a track bar causes play in the steering, correct? Therefor I would consider it a steering component.

Seeing as how you're the only other WJ owner that's commented on this thread I'll let you know what I find out. But right now it's looking like I'm going to have to just buy a whole new track bar.
