anyone know of an adjustable track bar for the wj with heims or johnny joints at both ends? i bent the one that came with my zone kit today...
-
i think the JKS unit comes with a JJ at the frame end, but i believe its still a bushing at the axle end...

I think you made your mistake by going with a Zone kit... but I think Johnny is right check out JKS
-
all the info i've seen on line (now) point to the tracbar as a weak link. i think some of that stuff is comin out of the woodwork.

yeah i would have to agree. i had to do some magor mods to my track bar to stop death wobble after the lift. i'd still like to get a track bar with heims at either end. eventually i'll just build one with evo heims.

Heims at both ends? Is this a DD?
I had a custom uber beefy track bar made at EVO. Clayton suggested that there should only be one heim used(at the axle end) and a big rubber bushing at the body end . He said two heims would be a little harsh for a daily driver. The rubber bushing end is off a one-ton Chevy application and threaded to solid bar. It can be replaced.

Heim and heim really isnt an issue on track bars. Bushings are just a cheaper solution. You really wont notice whether or not a TB has a bushing in it or not. They dont transmit noise and vibs the same way the links do.
Also, when it comes to aftermarket poly bushings, those things are so hard, they really dont provide any absorption over something like a heim anyways.
