track bar ideas!!

[sweetsride]

Well i have been having some issues with my track bar on my truck( 86 ranger/b2 with FW d44 and 9" on 36's)...the track bar bussings went on it a few weeks ago so i put new ones in (poly bushings) but these have seem to have worn out already and i have some play in them.

so my questions is what is everyone else using?? hims, johnny joints, ect? i have thought about using so 1 ton tie rod ends for my trac bar, anyone done this??

any pics, links and sugestions would be great

thanks
Kris

I think the most common upgrades I've seen is heims. But I know a couple Jeepers using Johnny joints with success.

I run all heims and have put alot of miles on and offroad with no issues.

I'd go with a heim Kris. Take the stock mount on the diff and do up something like this:

I've got a heim at my axle end and a bushing at my frame. Over 2 years of DD duties with no issues.

I had the same setup as Bray, and replaced the cheap 2 heim's in 6 months then went with a Ruff Stuff joint and never had an issue again!

Mine is just about the same as 97's, but just in a different position. I just extended my track bar up a couple of inches to level out my track bar and steering angles.
