No wai!
You can get stabilizers for like $40 bucks, and they're Ranchos. What kind of trackbar is it? Labor sounds like a lot too, where are you getting quoted at?

factory prices... t/b $159.00, str stab. $89.00, ball joint kit $237.00. Aftermarket considerably less, t/b about $80.00 str. stab. $25-40.00, ball joints about $25-35.00 a piece. Keep in mind that a shop will add mark up into the a/m parts, should already be included in the factory stuff though...

Well not really
Not really a rip off, but you could of shopped for the parts and got them a lot cheaper and then done it yourself and save a fortune. Balljoints are tricky , but the Trac-bar and stabilizer are cake. That stabilizer was way over the top though.

why did they tell u that you need a new trackbar?
I would just have them do the ball joints...what did they say or what do YOU say your problem is?

I just went to an adjustable because I hit 6". I ran a factory one until that jump from 5". Adjustables are pretty spendy, but they do allow for a little more articulation because of the heim joints. At 4.5" I'd just get a factory one. They are under $100. Scrap yards are full of them. Just pop them off the XJs they have until you find one that has a good end. What is wrong with the adjustable one you have on there ? Don't let the steering scare you away either. It is pretty simple and straight forward. Like the one guy said just have them do the balljoints. See if they will allow you to supply parts and shop around if they do. Some shops do most don't though. I'd go Spicer or Moog BJs. Good Luck !

If you have an aftermarket trackbar, it probably just needs a new joint/tie rod end at the frame mount. Do you know the manufacturer?

Without knowing who made it, it might be difficult. If you can get the tie rod end/joint off and take it to a good shop, they might be able to match it.

I am going to change out the ball joints immediately within the next 3 or 4 days and see how everything is after that. After replacing ball joints is an alignment in order? Are there any writeups on replacing ball joints?
