post up the thread count and diameter and hole diameter i will find you one to by
also look to see if the sides will come off it will look like it has holes for a spanner wrench so we might beable to find a rebuild kit
also you could ask the person who you bought it from what brand it was

My trackbar sucks, and i cant figure out who makes it. I asked the guy but he said it was on his rig when he bought it. It looks like it could be the re1600 but i cant tell for sure. If it is the RE1600 I have read a ton of stuff about the heim joint sucking and failing. I'm looking into ditching the no-name track bar and going with a double shear set up with poly bushings on both ends, and a new frame mount, from iron rock offroad. Or rustys? What do you guys think?

I've got an RE1600 trackbar in my TJ if you want to look at it and compare. Mine is junk too. I have a new rubber bushing to put in the axle end, but I think I need to replace the frame end also. I'll probably buy that too so I can do both ends at the same time. The bar itself is fine, it's just the ends that wear out and have to be replaced.
BlacXJeep:
this was reccomended to me, but I'm hesitant to go with a heim joint again. Its def a beefy bar, way tougher and thicker than the re 1600.

Or option 2, I keep the TB i have and find a heim joint to replace it. Thinking of ruffstuff heat and cryo treated heim
