Time for a new track bar?

Steering has gotten a lot sloppier all of the sudden (last 500 miles). Can feel a "klunk" in the front through the steering wheel when stepping on the go pedal uphill. Occasional "klunk" feeling when stepping on brakes downhill. Track bar has a little wiggle in it, but not as much as I expected. It's bleeding grease out the edges, too.

Just wanted to verify. Track bar repair time, or is it something else? 18K on the truck, got Darrin's DSS & dual Skyjacker steering dampeners & quad KYB's. I do drive in the dirt & rocks.

If it's the track bar, then Luke's Link, DTT track bar, or wait for Darrin Tessiers' '03 track bar to '02 and back bracket adapter?

Re:Time for a new track bar?

Since you have Skyjacker steering stabilizers, do you have Skyjacker control arms?

I was experiencing a "thunk", grabbed onto each control arm and wiggled.
3 were fine, passenger side lower was loose.
Took it back to the place that installed it today, and they tightened everything up and the "thunk" is gone.

Worth a shot.
