Is this too much play in my trackbar?

[TerryMason]

Every year or two my steering gets a little loose, and I have to play find the slop in the front end. I'm thinking that I just need a new bushing for the axle side of my trackbar. What do you guys think - is there too much movement there?

I don't think it looks horrible but there is movement.

You can drive but put it on the to do list - look for polly bushings a firmer feel to them

I'm not a fan of poly. While you are correct they are firmer they also squeak and can be too firm when they need to absorb.

Others like this Moog has two layers of different rubber and thinner amount of rubber. The delta is steel

Thanks guys. I'll swap out the bushing before I hit the trails this weekend.

Don't forget to use bolts to match the diameter.

Yeah, I did that before, my bolt is slightly oversized. It seems the factory bolt was too small from the get-go.
