ok thanks for all the tips
I went to autozone get a new track bar this morning
what they told me is that the bolt that was there is not the stock bolt system (got to love PO's)
so I went to Lowes and got a 7/16 bolt and a drill bit... drilled the eye right away and BAM no problem...

I have everything lined up and at the moment just bitching because my bolt is too long and I have to take it out to cut a bit of it
But I have good hope to be able finish today (yes interruptio between kids and familly affairs lol)
