Rusty's track bar making noise

I bought a Rusty's HD track bar and frame mount used, for a good deal so I couldn't pass it up. I know everyone says rustys stuff is crap but I took a chance. Since I've installed it, on turns in creaks like a really squeaky door. The noise is coming from the axle mount end. When i turn the wheel there is some movement back and forth in the mount. I have it tightened down pretty good, and have the bushing lubed very well. When I bought it bushings were worn but looked really decent. Do you think I need new bushings? or am I missing something here? Do I need to torque it down more? Any input would be great thanks!

If there is play in the busing then it is shot, I have the same track bar and the bushing lasted about 2 years and it went out, thier 10 bucks for a replacment bushing one from rustys. I have been very pleased with it I think people run into problems with them braking because they adjust them out to much when they get bigger lifts.

is the metal crush sleeve in the bushing? if so hit it with an impact

Yeah sleeves are in both ends....I will try to torque it down a bit more ...if not I will order some new bushings from rusty. Thanks

use a breaker bar or impact gun

Turns out it was the bolts started coming loose on the frame mount. Anyone with rusty's track bar and frame mount make sure to re torque the bolts on the frame mount.

be careful with that trac bar, i had the same one and the piece of shit broke while driving down a gravel driveway, i lost all steering and about crashed off the side of a canyon. and it dented my oil pan when it broke as well.
