99 4x4 Track Bar - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

REDXJ4FUN · 11-29-2001, 04:23 PM

I have a 99 2500 4x4 that has a very bad wonderind problem on the road. From what I can tell its the track bar. I found a bushing kit from energy suspetion for a 94 to 97 but nothing latter. Any thoughts on a fix besides buying a new one from the dealer?

DON'T GO TO THE DEALER!!!!

It's a rip off, all you get is an overpriced replacement that will wear out as quickly as the original did.

What you want is either a DT products bar (replaces factory mount, uses a cheap replacable SRE) or a Lindstad (sp?) which replaces the
ball joint on your factory one.

(looked all over, couldn't fine Lindstad, probably 'cause I'm spelling it wrong.)

I've got a DT products on mine, it's beefy as heck.

No experience with Lindstad, but I've heard good things.

I did the Linstad kit. Works for me. I thought about a lifetime warranty bar from Napa, but this one doesn't require removal from the vehicle to fix it-just crawl under there and adjust it.
