Rubicon Express, X-Factor, Rough Country... you get the point all offer a bracket with thier front trackbar now.

what makes the heim joint wear so fast in that location?

i want to get something will be a good upgrade and help to control death wobble, the jeep was getting death wobble on a regular basis when i was last home, i made a few adjustments to cover it up some so this winter when i get back im upgrading the whole the steering system. would the clayton track bar still be a better option over factory

with the RE track bar do you not need to use the drop bracket on the axle side like you do with the oem track bar and does go the same with all aftermarket hd track bars?
