Yep, great catch. Ill be doing that as well. Whats the easiest way to rotate them. Jack the jeep up to get the weight off of it and then rotate.

Had the same thing happen on my track bar. I had the mopar 2" lift which apparently is made by super lift. My dealer replaced the joint. It's been 3000 miles, and I'm starting to see slight give again. Fortunately, I'm installing a full traction ultimate lift with HD track bar.

Sorry, typed that on my iphone and left out bar. Track bar is junk. Not only do the joints go bad quickly, but the threaded part strips out too.
Also, being is that its a Superlift, check the rear axle mounted trackbar bracket. Those have been known to rip the stock mount off. Superlift has since come out with a weld on addition, don't know which one you may have. Several companies have a re-inforced one you can put on to not only re-locate the trackbar, but help strengthen the stock mount. I run a Teraflex one.
