I've been running mine and not had any problems with it at all, but I've probably only done 5-6k miles with it. I also haven't heard a lot of complaints about it, but I'm not the one that people would complain to about it.

Sorry to revive an old thread but does anyone have any updates on the COM bushing JKS uses now? I need to replace the Rubicon Express TB the PO put on my Jeep and like the price point and reputation of JKS. I haven’t seen or heard anything really about that joint being bad but thought I’d ask before I order one. Thanks!

didn't quite make the 6 year mark, com bearing is noisy and struggling to find a replacement. Wish it was rebuildable.
That's a bummer. Mine is still hanging in there. Let us know if you're able to source the bearing?
Couldn't find the bearing by itself but I did find a track bar service kit which includes the bearing and the two halves of the poly bushing for the frame end. JKS 7208 is the part number, it's about $40 and not nearly as available as the track bar itself. I found it buried on JKS website and on eBay as well as a handful of 4wd parts retailers I wasn't very familiar with and are probably just drop-shippers. There was one on Amazon but not prime so it only advertised 7 day delivery and it was priced $10 high. I ordered one from eBay and one direct from JKS, will return whichever one gets here too late or whichever one is easier to return if they both get here in time. The one from eBay is in USPS hands with an estimated delivery less than 12 hours before I'm supposed to leave on a 1000 mile wheeling trip.
