JKS front trackbar bushing replacment
this rig has JK front and rear TB's... The front TB bushings are shot already and was wondering what to get to replace them.
Is it the same bushing as whats in the stock control arms because I can get them for about $10 at the local parts store?
Or... is there a good upgrade because 2 years seems pretty premature for failure?
After reading some of these posts, I noticed that some were saying to check the bend for "flex". I am getting serious death wobble and have tried everything else.
Thanx guys

For the price of them and seeing they are not going to break the bank, go with the rubber ones instead of poly. As mentioned too, check for some looseness and play in the front end, not just the trackbar.
