It's rare to find an aftermarket product that is so needed and yet so unknown about. But that's exactly what Luke's Link Dodge 4x4 tracking bar permanent repair kit is!
Dodge truck 4x4's 1994 through 2001 (1500) and 2002 (2500/3500) have a solid front mono-beam axle with coil springs. To hold the axle in place, Dodge uses a tracking bar. This is a bar that is attached to the front axle and the truck frame. When this tracking bar gets worn, it allows the front axle to move some side to side. I've had customers tell me that their truck steered bad and their Dodge service department replaced the tracking bar. This seemed to only solve the steering problem for a short while and then back to both hands on the wheel again.
Johnnie Laucus of LaJunta Colorado has come up with the solution. Johnnie built a heavy duty ball joint replacement for the Dodge drag link that rebuilds the present ball joint and can be tightened as it wears. It's cheap and built like a tank, what else could you want!
Johnnie also has replacement kits for Tie Rod ends for Dodge, older Fords, GM's and tractors and combines. Now you know that trucks, tractors and combines, last for decades. It's nice to see a family company building parts to keep us rebuilding our workhorses! And they all have grease zerks, I love grease zerks.
I have two of these drag link
kits that will be installed in the field and tested. Soon I'll bring you
pictures, showing ease of installation and the steering difference. Stay
tuned. Go visit the Luke's Link website, they have detailed instruction,
details and prices there. Just click
