That looks like cheap Chinese knockoff crap that break under any kind of stress. Don’t trust your life to $119.

 

I made my own. I used a 07 Power Wagon bar (16mm) and cut it in two and had a machine shop make a threaded turn buckle in the middle for adjustment. Worked great. The bracket I use is from Dodge Off-Road.

I figured as much. Half the stuff at the parts houses are made in china. I went through 5 master cylinder’s from O’reilys in a one year period. All leaked from the same spot. The front tank where it sits on the aluminum housing. Put a Napa one on a couple months ago. So far so good

Also, without a dense rubber bushing on one end of the track bar, every  pulse of energy generated from the road will transfer through the track bar to the frame, then the body, then to you.  I don't think you would like that.

Very true

I’m running a moog track bar, beefier than the OEM unit.  I was told it had a tiny bit of play but wasn’t in need of replacing yet.  I swapped it anyway while I was tearing everything else apart last weekend.  Lifetime warranty ftw.

Might be a beefy unit but the quality isn't that great.

Yeah, it's not the quality parts we've known but now it's a foreign-made product and lifespan is questionable at best at times. Hence why the Lifetime warranty like my Autozone clutch hydro's which are lifetime warranty but foreign-made parts. :rolleyes:

The front end parts on my truck are only a few years old. Moog.  I put a 1” leveling kit on it. The front end is slightly off center. That’s why I am looking at an adjustable track bar. For the price of a Thuren or Carly I can live with it for now. 😆

This is the track bar I just put on my truck - called Proforged.  It is adjustable (after installation), heavy duty, and has an excellent seal on the ball joint, AND it's reasonably priced.  I have only logged 22,000 miles on mine, but I think it is going to be a keeper.

 

There are several sources to purchase them.

Thank you just what I’m looking for!  A million mile warranty. That’ll outlast the truck and me!

Let me know what you think of it.

 

After I set the jam nuts, I marked the nut-to-sleeve and nut-to-track bar with bright orange torque seal.  It makes for an easy quick visual inspection to know that the nuts are staying tight.
