Not sure I have the receipt. Used a gift card, will that help?

Just an update. I went to HD today. They pulled up my purchase through the gift card and refunded me the $80. Took about 3 minutes.

Waiting for you to be back for some truck parts.
About to buy that manual you recommended though. Got too intoxicated last night.

I bought the manual. I can't seem to find information on replacing track bar bushings. If you have time, if it's not too much trouble, would you mind doing a search and seeing if you can find it?

Can you post a few pics of your rear axle and suspension? Is this a 4x4 rig?

Yes, it is 4x4 - Maybe I am calling it the wrong thing. Sorry, I am new to this. It is part of the front suspension.

I can get pictures tomorrow.

I can't identify exactly what type of axle you have, but this part is described as "connecting rod" or "spindle connecting rod" in Volume 1-Chassis, Group 15 - Driving Axles and Driveshafts. If you can clean up the diff housing and get a tag number off of it, that will help you ID the bushings. If you don't have a tag, get some measurements, like axle tube sizes, etc. and someone more knowledgeable than I will chime in. More photos of the front axle will help. It looks like the bushings could be separated with a ball joint fork once you remove the castle nuts and cotter pins. Once you have the bushing itself in hand, measure that and you should be able to find a replacement.

Looks like a standard trac bar set up on a Dana 44.
