BD Diesel Suspension Track Bar Bushing

BD Diesel Track Bar Bushings: Precision Engineering for Lifted Diesel Trucks

When a lifted diesel truck starts to wander, dart, or develop the dreaded "Death Wobble," the culprit is often a compromised track bar system — and the bushing at the heart of it. BD Diesel, a brand with roots going back to 1972 in Abbotsford, British Columbia, brings the same engineering rigor it applies to turbochargers and transmissions directly to its suspension track bar bushings — treating steering stability as seriously as diesel performance.

Why Track Bar Bushings Matter on Lifted Trucks

Common leveling and lift kits pull the track bar out of position, affecting ride and steering quality, as well as axle position with respect to the body and frame. Stock rubber bushings are simply not built to handle the added stress of a lifted suspension, and as they wear, the resulting looseness in the track bar can translate directly into unpredictable handling and accelerated wear on related steering components.

BD Diesel's Polyurethane Bushing Design

BD Diesel's track bar bushing sets are purpose-built replacement components designed specifically for use with BD's own adjustable track bar kits. Installation kits come with long-lasting, easily serviceable polyurethane bushings — a meaningful upgrade over factory rubber that degrades quickly under the rigors of towing, off-road use, and lifted suspension geometry.

The complete bushing set for 1994–2007 applications includes four press-in bushings, two sleeves, and assembly lubricant , making it a true full-rebuild solution. For 2008–2013 applications, individual 16mm sleeves are also available. These are genuine replacement components for BD track bars only and are not compatible with stock or other aftermarket track bars.

For Ford Super Duty owners, BD Diesel offers a poly bushing kit for Ford track bar applications, serving as a replacement poly bushing set for the 1032110 and 1032111 track bar kits. This ensures that owners who have already invested in a BD adjustable track bar can keep their system performing at its best with genuine OEM-matched components.

Part of a Complete Steering Stability System

BD Diesel's bushing sets don't exist in isolation — they are engineered as part of a broader steering stability ecosystem. The adjustable track bar itself is built from rigid 1-3/8" Drawn Over Mandrel seamless heavy-wall tubing with formed and precision-welded collars , and the polyurethane bushings are designed to complement that construction for a tight, rattle-free fit over thousands of miles.

The adjustable track bar features a high-quality black Cerakote finish that resists corrosion and doesn't flake off like powder coat when hit by road debris, allowing for correct axle alignment on lifted trucks so they drive straighter with less wander and more positive steering feel. Keeping the bushings fresh is what maintains that performance over time.

Built for Dodge Cummins and Ford Super Duty Applications

BD Diesel's track bar bushing lineup covers two of the most popular heavy-duty diesel platforms: Dodge Ram 2500/3500 (1994–2013 with Cummins power) and Ford Super Duty F-250/F-350/F-450/F-550. Front-end alignment is recommended after installing these products, which by their design are legal for sale and use in all 50 states. Whether you're rebuilding a worn track bar or maintaining a recently installed BD kit, having the correct bushing set on hand is an essential part of keeping a lifted diesel truck handling safely and predictably.
