Daystar Bushings

[IcyFridge]

I am thinking about purchasing some Daystar bushings. I had Energy Suspension bushings on my old Jeep, but only for the front swaybar.

I am looking at:
1. Rear Swaybar bushings part KJ05013 -$36 (do we even have swaybars in the back?!)
2. Front swaybar bushings 25mm swaybar KJ05005 -$20 (How can I be sure I have the right swaybar size?)
3. Front trackbar bushing KJ07002 -$7 (Is this really neccessary? My trackbar moves if you play with it)

Whaddya think? Total price is $63 bucks for parts only. My old Jeep handled like a sports car. Now, let's hope my new one will as well.

	Swaybar A sway bar (also stabilizer bar, anti-sway bar, roll bar, or anti-roll bar, ARB) is an automobile suspension device. It connects opposite (left/right) wheels together through short lever arms linked by a torsion spring. A sway bar increases the suspension's roll stiffness—its resistance to roll in turns, independent of its spring rate in the vertical direction.

	Track bar A track bar is a component of a car suspension system that provides lateral location of the axle. While the purpose of the rear suspension of an automobile is to allow the wheels to move vertically with respect to the body, it is undesirable to allow them to move forward and backwards, or from side to side. It is this latter movement that the track bar is designed to prevent. It is a simple device, consisting of a rigid bar running sideways in the same plane as the rear axle, connecting one end of the axle to the car body or chassis on the opposite side of the vehicle. The bar is attached on either end with pivots that permit it to swivel upwards and downwards only, so that the axle is, in turn, allowed to move in the vertical plane only.

Mine used to have them front and rear. Used to

It should move somewhat at the frame end in order to allow for the up and down motion of the axle. If it makes a popping noise replace the joint.

Just measure them up.
Check out specialEd's posting in this forum, someone even included a picture on how to do the measuring.

I went with the daystar, made a huge difference!!

(mine only come off on the weekends..... :0)
