Track Bar

Okay If was to build myself a custom track bar......I would attach it to the frame on one side and the axle on the other end.....I figure to make it with an adjustable Heim joint at one end and then solid to the frame...Any suggestions anyone.........................

What you'll want (if you're building it yourself) is a LH heim on one end and a RH heim on the other. That'd make it adjustable. Those 3-pt parts are good to use on the cheap, but they loosen up pretty easily and aren't made of the best quality steel. They also don't quite fit real tight, so there's a little more slop.
