**Replacement for RC cheapo heim on track bar?**
My track bar (4-6") with bracket, is having a clunky (loose) heim joint, approximately one year (no more) after my lift. Is there another higher quality heim I can use, WITH the RC track bar? I don't really feel like replacing the whole track bar if I don't have to. Anyone know what thread pattern it is, the RC track bar?
It is clunking and driving me crazy. The axle side bolt is as tight as it can be, I already checked. The play is coming form the "ball/socket" of the heim.
I just checked my receipt, it is 10 months old. I am emailing RC to see what they will do. No off-roading yet (I live too far from the woods, and lifted this for fording capability in my flood zone. I use it every rain storm!
