My heim on my track bar is shot and skeaking like crazy. I was wondering if anyone knows what size i need to get to replace it. I would rather get it from somewhere other than RE.

It is the standard Trackbar they have with the heim end, not the JJ.


Thanks, Tim

the one I got to replace from RE was a 3/4x3/4 with a reducer down to a 5/8 bolt. You should just buy a 3/4x5/8 heim.

I got my RE track bar about 6 years ago and it uses a 3/4x3/4 heim that is LEFT HAND THREAD. As was mentioned a 3/4 to 5/8 reducer is used.

You can find that rod end from Aurora or QA1 or any other major rod end manufacturer.

I don't remember which direction thread mine had, but that only takes a second to look and double check.

It is a QA1 rod end and the proper part number for it is QA1EXML12 and is a 3/4 hole by 3/4 shank 16 thread pitch

that is a left hand thread, and as we said is missing the spacer. you'd be better off with a 3/4x5/8 heim, company of your choice.

the QA1 EMXL 10-12 is the 3/4x5/8 version and is almost 50% stronger than the 3/4x3/4. the only dimension different besides the 5/8 is the hole the bolt goes through is 1/8" shorter so you may need to add a washer to the bolt.

i'm just saying that QA1 heim doesn't come with the spacer, and when I had the exact same trackbar I could not get that spacer out of the original heim for the life of me. so if he got a 3/4x3/4 he very well may need to order a spacer too, so might as well just get a 3/4x5/8 that is stronger anyway.
