Yes the stock bar is solid and the JKS bar is DOM the first few versions of the JKS bars were to week. I ran two versions of the JKS bar and both gave me DW. I now have 60K on the stock bar with NO DW. JKS was very easy to deal with and warrantied both track bars.

Guess we are not talking about the same bar, even though its the same brand. Mine is only a few months old and built like a brick crapper. Now I understand why this one is so phat if older versions caused problems.

Good to know JKS stands behind them!

So we loosened all control arms bolts, bounced the car a bit, and re-tightened. what next? i think it is a bit better, but not 100% cured. loosened and retorqued front track-bar to the recommended torque value.

I was told to get an aftermarket steering stabilizer, but i know that is just masking the problem, and i don't want to spend more on this...

Suggestions are welcome....

thanks!

I have the AEV premium, and can almost guarantee what you're dealing with is a loose bolt somewhere. I'd wager a bet it will be with the front suspension. Torque specs and tighten and do it yourself!
