I started getting a clunk in the front. It is really loud just randomly but I can also hear it by moving my steering back and forth. I just recently put in an Aussie in the D30, so I kinda thought it could be that. I think I have isolated it though. My Rough Country adjustable track bar (the one with the stock style tierod end on the upper side) is shot. This thing only has about 7thousand or so miles on it and about 6 days of wheeling on it. Anyone have any suggestions? I am not real sure I want to get another RC end as it went out so fast. I only have zj steering and stock pitman arm so can't really do a lowered track bar without a pitman arm.

Here are a few options:
-remove and recycle
-remove and sell to a sucker
-remove and use as a conversation piece
The stock one peicer is much stronger
I went the way of the rubicon express hd trac bar and brace. I also have a piece of rod with a loose tie rod end we giggle over in the shop once and a while.

This is what i just installed on mine..Hell of a deal and BEEFY
Do you know the part number for this or what I need to ask for.
Yeah, I am almost certain this is the clunk I am hearing.
Anybody know if this will work with the RC trackbar?

Also, will I need a dropped pitman arm for this?

Give them a call,(IRO) these guys are great in helping you..Off hand i can't think of the number on the TRE...You can also CALL RC and they can tell you the number for your TRE...
"Only works with our HD track bar and others that have a M22x1.5 left hand thread rod end"
find out what thread pitch the RC TRE uses

You can't beat his trackbars. He makes them so beefy that they would outlast the jeep. He'll make em to the length you specify and must cheaper than most aftermarket companies. His name is Andy, give him a call.
With RC, you get what you pay for. You should see their double sheer trackbar. It's a joke.

Looks like he uses the factory tre. Seems pretty pointless to have such a beef bar and a tre that wears out in 3 months....no different than my RC track bar.

I have both RC Trac bars. the Double shear has a Beefy mount, but the bar is smaller. it's been holding up great. I couldnt complain, bar&mount for $110 is a great deal, but i would not use this bar with huge tires. i do agree, i think it would bend easily with heavy abuse.
The RC Trac bar with a TRE Is also a decent deal, but the TRE they put on it is junk, I upgraded to a MOOG TRE and threw it on my ZJ. It's holding up great!
+1 for RC.. I also really like IRO's setup. Great bang for the buck there too!

Who? Andy? He built mine with double sheer. No way in hell I'd use a tie rod on a trackbar. They just don't last long. Andy offers t-bars with tie rods as a cheaper alternative if you wish to use it.
