I'm in the process of ordering some new bushings (radius arm, c-bushings, etc.) and was also going to order some track bar bushings then realized that I wasn't exactly sure what the track bar is.

Is this the track bar? %) Would the correct bushing kit be Moog K8447?

Thanks!

Are you sticking with stock rubber or upgrading to poly?

I went through JBG, their shipping is priced very well and their parts are definitely inline with what other places are asking. This way there's no questions.

There are 4 different styles of links on an EB in the front suspension & steering setup:

1) Tie-rod link. Flat bar between the two steering knuckles.
2) Drag-link. Bar from the steering box to the tie-rod link.
3) Track-bar. Perpendicular bar between the vehicle frame and the front axle housing.
4) Radius arms (x2). Parallel suspension arms that run from each side of the frame - to each side of the front axle.

I'm leaning towards stock rubber instead of poly but don't yet really understand the advantages of one over the other.
