Video is private. So we can't view it.

But no, your track bar really shouldn't be wobbling at all.

You need a new trackbar. That's a wicked amount of movement.

Please park it until you can make suitable repairs. If that TRE comes apart at highway speeds you are screwed.

Tell me a little more about your rig and the type of wheeling you do.

Spend a little more and buy something better or you'll be doing it again next year.

That's what I was thinking. I'm gonna go with the RE setup SeriousOffroad recommended.
