Ok y’all I have been hearing that whenever u change the track bar that u shouldn’t take the tires off or take the weight off the suspension. Is this true bc my trac bar is f***** in the worst way. Plus I have some play in my steering and I have replaced my drag link and checked all my ball joints and wheel bearings and ujoints. Will the track bar also put play in ur steering wheel?

When I changed my Track bar i didn't have to take the tires off. It was pull and replace. Have you tried adjusting your steering box yet? I ended up replacing mine with one from Redhead Steering. Spendy, but no more sawing action driving down the road.

Well I haven’t tried to adjust my steering box yet I need to and see if it helps. I really need to get another box bc mine leaks. Not bad but it still leaks lol. So imma try that first bc my play is bad. But I can get in my truck and move the wheel I can watch the track move. So I bought the moog brand and it was high dollar. But I don’t use anything else but moog.

+1 on the MOOG replacement parts. I replaced all my tie rods same time as my track bar replacement. Check Amazon they have a lot of parts available. Side note if you but the track bar you don't need to buy the bushing too.
