Dont do it!!! I wish I hadn't. A new track bar is like 120 bucks from RE if you don't get the hole the perfect size then the bolt will move around and you will have death wobble.

I dunno 40 bucks sounds a lot better, but 120 is not much to have a centered axle and a straight driving jeep, I just didn't have the money for it when I lifted my jeep.
