track bar woes
so im getting very slight wobbles at about 45....barely noticeable but I check the track bar anyways. To my surprise, the hole on the axle mount isn't wallowed out but it appears that the bushing on the track bar is. when I turn the wheel, the bolt stays in place but the track bar still moves back and forth around it. Its a brand new track bar that I replaced maybe a month ago! Has this happened to anyone else?

Old fart with a wrench
Are you saying the rubber is shot or it's loose on the bushing? Is the bushing tight between the bracket ears? We're getting some real S*** from China lately. The rubber wears oversized very quickly.

I prefer to pay a bit more and have a heavy duty adjustable unit mine is lifted a bit
got caught myself with a cheap engine & trans mount kit, rubber was soft as jelly, threw them away (trans bounced on xmember like a machine gun)

The rubber looks ok but it might just be too soft. It doesnt seem like the hole is too big for the bolt
