Shit I've had mine on the jeep for well over a year as well and was actually wondering what to do about it. I didn't know that they would swap out for the newer version. The one I just bought from David and put on the rear looked a Hell of a lot thicker. Would they be able to swap out the front for a new one? I had no idea it was revised so many times.

I just searched for this thread because of my problems with death wobble. Took off my tracbar, found the bushings to be cracked.
Have had the tracbar for 3 years this November. So what generation do I have? And what do they do? Prorate for the new one.

I have some squeaking coming from the rear of my Jeep. Haven't had an opportunity to investigate, but my rear track bar is a JKS and its been installed about a year now. ![Thinking](https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/images/smilies/thinking.gif)

Also this might help someone, I went wheelin the other day, bashed my tie rod (bent up n back a little), drove home with little shakin in the steerin wheel, next day got DW when I hit little bumps in road, Adjusted Tie Rod so Toe would be out a little (two full turns on the tie rod adjustment to lengthen the tie rod) Death wobble gone and steerin wheel no longer wobbles, solid as a rock.

Well it has happened again to me less than one year later. The frame side bushing must be bad because the track bar has a lot of play. I can see the track moving and bushing is not like its not tight. I guess i will call jks again. Not very happy though. Ready to sell my jk and buy a restored yj or cj so i never have to worry about a track bar again.
