I have been doing some research on our track bar issue.

I looked into the new solid steel bracket that allows for use of the 03 track bar. It sounds good, but that a lot of money all together. 129 + shipping for the bracket and ~185 for the 03 track bar. Your looking at 300+ before your done.

I then looked into the Moog track bar. I read the article on the federal mogul website reguarding their acclaimed fix by using bigger sockets.

This sounded pretty good, so I started searching for prices. I can find it for around 230. Moog's part number is DS-1413.

I then went to advanceautoparts.com and plugged in this number to see if I could by it locally. I was shocked by the results. There are two other companies making or selling this track bar using the same part number. The shocker was the variation in prices.

Moog $234.99
TRW $100.73
Mcquay Norris $139.99

The question is: are they all the same part sold by different vendors or are they mimicing Dodge's part number?

100 bucks sounds great, but am I getting something that will help with the issue or just a temporary fix?

 

Moog will still wear out. Cheapest fix is a "Lukes Link" on your current factory bar.........$63.

 

The Lukes Link to me is just a bandaid fix, it covers up the problem, instead of fixing it. I would spend the cash and get the 03 Track Bar Upgrade, Or the DTprofab Adjustable Trac Bar. JMHO. Thanks

What is a DTB kit an is it the best one to buy. I have the brace that goes to the steering box but it still needs the track bar thanks Jim
