Weres the cheapest place to get a frame side track bar mount for a bushing style end, similar to Rustys. Or does anybody have one sitting around?

going to look at a Jeep in the morning, it is from West Virginia. Stay tuned
Gonna fix the cousin's Highlander tomorrow, says he can't go over 50 without the front end shaking all over. I took one look & 2 pass, lugnuts missing, the other 3 were hand tight. He said he had a friend work on it.. Note to all, stop letting friends work on your car, #2 Don't tell relatives you are a mechanic for a living.

I have an interview Monday for that teaching job... Spent 25 minutes on the phone with the principal last night. The school is maybe 3 years old, the shop, state of the art, the location is rural enough for me...
Just don't think they can afford me, but we'll see...

I hear ya man , there is a job I would like to inquire about, but it's a 90 min drive, round trip away. Driving a V-8 ZJ would suck a$$, so it would have to be a heck of a pay raise.

I've got some play in the frame end of my track bar, JKS fab-yer-own OAB with a transverse Johnny Joint at the frame. I don't know if the mount is wallowed out yet, if the bolt has problems, or if the Johnny Joint itself has worn. Austin mentioned something a few weeks ago when he was building an axle end mount, that he used square tubing cut down with a band saw. If I have to work on the mount itself, I'll see if I can find some square tubing of the right size. That might also work for KMan.

If you need some tube, let me know I got a few bits around that will work...
I used it on the axle-side mount which is just a bushing, dunno if it will work on the J.J. side, what is the width of the J.J?
I'm pretty sure I have the bigger joint, IIRC, it's 2.5". JKS has redesigned their website, and I'm not finding where the trackbar parts are listed. Need to pull everything apart and take a look.
Then again, there's another thread here where someone (Boostwerks?) had cut up plate for a custom axle end mount, I'd just have to weld it together.

That'll work too... Just remember to throw that nasty roll of wire away before you do anything!!

The t bar mount is for the wife's jeep. I got a bushing style adjustable bar from Brennan. I was thinking about building one. Time is of the essence at this point in my life.
I'm gonna check iron rock.

the rest of the car just isnt worth it. dents in all the panels,hood wont close, power steering leaks, rusty quarter's, both back doors wont open, seats are all tore up, you can see threw the trunk, tail light is busted, could use a set of tires. it has 280k on it when i got it it had so much trash in it you could only sit in the drivers seat. id say i made out pretty good.
still deciding if i should take the money and put it towards another beater...
