Ok jeeples, your opinions on a rear track bar. Short back story, did a SYE and CV driveshaft a while back. My rear track bar is stock and the bushings are shot. Just recently added a JKS angled relocation bracket in place of my old OME bracket, so with the pinion rotated and the new angled bracket the stock TB is not in a happy position, so it's time for an adjustable one. My conundrum? As most of us poor jeep owners, I say poor, cause that is what these jeeps do to us, make us poor. Anywho, money is tight. I already have a JKS adjustable track bar up front. Had it for years, and it's been a trooper, so logic would dictate to get a matching JKS bar for the rear, right? I'm not brand specific for stuff, that ship sailed long ago, so I buy what I feel will work well for my needs. Enter my question, is there a more economical TB out there that will do the job? Good question, so I did what most would do and see what Amazon has to say. A JKS bar is $204. Put the flame throwers down for just a minute and look at this. I know, I know, it's that dreaded name!

It's a track bar guys-n-gals, so come on, they can't screw this up much, right? Ok, here's what I see that it has going for it, it has factory clevite bushings which I like. It uses an adjustable sleeve to adjust the length just like you have up front for your steering adjustments. I like that feature since you can install the TB and fine tune the length to center your axle without having to take one side off to adjust it. Yes, the JKS bar has that nice JJ at one end, but I'm on a NVH trip right now, so the Clevite's are appealing. Will I be shunned by the masses for having a RC part on my jeep? Thoughts? Go!
