Energy Suspension list a urethane TJ track bar bushing in their range. I've not used it, but I can't imagine any reason for it to be different to the bushing in a XJ trackbar.

To the best of my knoledge its the same bushing size as the factory. The Skyjacker bushing is poly bushing.

The newer factory bushings are better than the old ones...they are a two part bushing but still rubber.

As mentioned Energy suspention as well as daysatr should have these bushings.

I have been through so many of those bushings that it's ridiculous.. I just order 2 at a time from my local shop at $7 and deal with it. They seem to last a few months of good wheeling until they get sloppy enough to let the truck dart on the road and possibly cause death wobble. I don't think a different bushing made of the same stuff would be any better. Rubber may be worse. There's a lot of force placed on it.

If its worn out that fast there is other things going on.....the unitbody tweaked? Axle NOT truly centered..WORN CA's bushings...

I would say you need to get under there and give it a REALLY good cleaning and spend some time on your back and look REALLY GOOD!!!

I've tried to contact NAPA, Pepboys, AZ, 4WP, and Parts Plus and they dont have the trackbar axle bushing....grrr. is it really this freaking hard to get a replacement?

Prolly too late, but Napa does have the rubber bushings. The p/n for the 2-piece design is 2749213 and the one-piece is 2749176.

yea, I found those part numbers at NAPA but they didnt have any in stock at the time. so I ended up ordering some daystar bushings from Quadrajunk
