Track bar bushings?
Are these replacable? The clunking is no longer tolerable...
A part# and source (FTE Parts guy?)would be very helpful, thnx in advance! We are in middle 5000 mile trip, currently near Aspen, CO.

Yes they are...and not too hard if you have the tools. They are pretty cheap...I think about $25 depending on where you get them from. Get Urethane though... A little stiffer and will last longer. ALso dont forget to grease the inside of them a little to keep the squeaking away. Otherwise you will be complaining about the squeaking later. 
I checked a local shop near home and they will change them for $80 including the parts.

Buy my bushings from this website: http://www.EnergySuspensionPARTS.com.and got them dilivered in about 3 days. I used a "vise" that I got from Homedepot for about $15. I place the Track bar eye between (to removed old bushings) two different size sockets. One sockets was big enough for the old bushing to fit in, and the other sockets was just used to push from the other side. This job took me just under two hours to complete. I hope this help

Let me know if you get any closer to Denver and still need a hand. If you are going the other way....I hope you get it taken care of. You will really feel it once you get it done. Much better handling.
