Hasan, how much movement? Can you post a video? Do you have a shimmy or death wobble when driving it?

Hi , it moves 1.5 cm ,, i dont have a DW but i hear clicking noise on bumps , all of the front end susp. parts is new , just the gear box and the track bar still the old and i intended to change them soon ,( steering issue and loose steering )

I’m sorry to hear that. I don’t believe the stock tie rod bushings can be replaced. Per the advice of my mechanic, who I trust, I recently replaced my stock tie rod and drag link, because of movement and clicking too.

Trackbar should not tick unless it is loose.
You can replace the bushing if you wish but from experience the mount usually oval out

I just realized I posted about the tie rod and drag link, whereas your question is about the track bar. My apologies!

I recently had my son replace the front trac bar bracket, tie rod and drag link with Synergy heavy duty parts. I also had Jeep replace the steering gear under warranty on my 24 JL. This took care of the steering issues I was having as well as beefing up the front end and steering for off road fun. The trac bar bracket has a replaceable bearing. You are talking about the axle side of the trac bar but could your problem be from the gearbox side instead where the bracket hole gets wallowed out pretty easily with a lift kit??
