The trackbar revision is a good one to get. Just my speculation, but I think the 2018-19 JLs had inconsistent hardness of the trackbar bushings. Some people had no issue with them, others could feel the squirmyness of them even after getting revised steering boxes. I think Jeep finally just changed the part number of the trackbar once they got a handle on quality control and engineering for the correct hardness of rubber bushings in them. Normally, engineering does not change a part number unless it's a design change. But, sometimes quality control issues demand a way to identify manufacturing batches with possible descrepancies. Get the latest trackbar or buy a good reputable aftermarket bar. You'll like it.
thx. i need the tsb to see if i have the old or new one. anyone know the updated part #? thx.

Can this only be completed while under warranty?
