Guess who's track bar

[WI88XJ]

3 months old, 6 hrs into it's first wheeling trip...

Glad it was the heavy duty one

It sure was a fun trip trying to find an open parts store up north in the middle of no-where on a Sunday afternoon.

I didn't know Rusty's made their own tie rod ends.
How bad does it max out while drooping the right front?

That looks familiar.

I'll have to dig around for a photo but not too bad. We were up at McCaslin Mountain and he was trying to get his unlocked 31" tired rig out of a mud pit when it snapped. I doubt Rusty makes his own tierod ends. It's probably out sourced to the cheapest bid.

There was another thread a few days ago showing the failure of a TRE on a Rustys TB.

His HD track bar uses a bushing in double shear.

Yeah, that's not the heavy duty bar.

The only reason that TRE would have broke where it did, is if your geometry is screwed.

Or if your jam nut was not tight enough, mine broke like that once.

mine too, at wal-mart.........

I had a HD BEND on me, it was because I didn't tighten down the Jam nut. Dumb mistake and entirely my fault. Replaced it with a new HD and its been fine ever since.

TRE's break, Heims break, Always carry spares.
