Default Upper track bar bracket wear question

Noticed a popping noise when turning the wheels of my 2011 JK 4dr. 4" lift running 35" tires adjustable track bar. Upon further inspection i found the popping noise was coming from the upper end of the track bar on the drivers side. As the front wheels are turned the track bar moves side to side in the frame bracket. About an 1/8 inch play I would estimate. Any ideas or opinions on a fix would be appreciated.

Is it the stock one? Mine did it with an aftermarket tracbar once I tightened it again (always check you lift bolts after install and a few miles) the noise went away and hasn't reappeared.

This could be corrected by inserting a grade 8 washer in between the track bar and bracketto take up the slack. First check to be sure the bracket is not bent or the the bolt is loose.
