track bars

[stockerXJ]

has anyone heard of track bars "wearing out" on XJ's? Last visit to the dealership they told me it was loose and said that they only get about 80k miles on them before they need replacing. Seems to me this isn't a part that would need to be replaced by mileage, no moving parts or anything. Do you think the dealer was B.S.ing me into another 300$ to replace it?

most dodge & jeep products have issue with them...they leed to death wobble!

It is a maintenance item. They will eventually fail, faster if you drive off-road.


And they do move. $300 however, is a complete rip-off. Buy an aftermarket one, stock or beefed, and do it yourself.

$300 is BS we sell a replacement at NAPA for arond $90 it takes like 1/2 hour to install pretty simple, when i get to work Friday ill post the part numbers.

i already bought the part from rusty's, was $50 from them for the stock track bar, it's just a tight squeeze up where the bolt is by the pumpkin and was wonderin if I REALLY should do it now
