{"product_id":"dr-kdss-track-bar-blemished","title":"Dr. KDSS Track Bar – Blemished","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a blemished (B-stock) track bar, fully functional and discounted purely for cosmetics. Blems can include heavier marbling in the finish, minor gouges or scratches, a logo machined at inconsistent depth, or a laser-etched logo that didn't come out exactly how we wanted. Honestly, most of these you won't even notice, we're just overly critical of our own parts. Same bar, same strength, same install. You're just saving money on a cosmetic flaw.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eATTENTION :  if you are ordering for LC200\/ LX570 please specify in the notes as we need to set the length to 41.5” or to whatever exact length you need it! \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat It Is\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the lightest and strongest track bar on the market for KDSS-equipped and non kdss Toyotas and Lexus platforms — period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow available in two sizes to cover both previous and current generation platforms, this updated design features a 1 1\/4” solid 7075 billet aluminum bar (upgraded from 1 1\/8”) and 7\/8” Pro Bearing heims for increased strength, durability, and articulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis isn’t just an upgrade — it’s built for people who actually use their rigs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e⸻\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy It Matters\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Fully adjustable to recenter your axle after a lift\u003cbr\u003e• ~40% lighter than OEM track bar\u003cbr\u003e• As strong as top chromoly bars — without the weight\u003cbr\u003e• Upgraded 7\/8” heims for improved articulation and durability\u003cbr\u003e• Designed to flex under load and return to true without permanent bending\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e⸻\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Materials\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Machined from solid 7075 billet aluminum (not hollow tubing)\u003cbr\u003e• Updated to 1.25” diameter for increased strength\u003cbr\u003e• Upgraded to 7\/8” Pro Bearing chromoly heims (previously 3\/4”)\u003cbr\u003e• Includes in-house machined stainless steel misalignment spacers\u003cbr\u003e• CNC-machined and anodized for corrosion resistance\u003cbr\u003e• Engraved DRKDSS logo near the heim joint\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e⸻\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight \u0026amp; Strength\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompared to OEM and typical aftermarket options:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• OEM Track Bar: ~7 lbs\u003cbr\u003e• Typical Chromoly Track Bar: ~8.5–9 lbs\u003cbr\u003e• DRKDSS Track Bar: ~5.2 lbs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eResult:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• ~40% lighter than OEM\u003cbr\u003e• Comparable strength to chromoly\u003cbr\u003e• Less unsprung weight, better performance\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e⸻\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy 7075 Aluminum\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e7075 aluminum is used in aerospace and race applications for its strength-to-weight ratio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis material allows the bar to:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Flex up to 6–7% under load\u003cbr\u003e• Return to perfectly straight without permanent deformation\u003cbr\u003e• Handle repeated abuse without fatigue\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e⸻\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor Options\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Hardcoat Anodized\u003cbr\u003e• Black\u003cbr\u003e• Red\u003cbr\u003e• Gold\u003cbr\u003e• Blue\u003cbr\u003e• Clear Anodized\u003cbr\u003e• Blemished options available (minor cosmetic imperfections only — fully functional)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNote: Due to the nature of anodizing 7075 aluminum, slight tonal variations or “water marks” are normal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e⸻\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstall Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWhile on the ground.
