Is there a trick to installing new track bar in 99 dodge ram 1500, new one seems longer but is same size, old one came out easy.

There are two different sizes but I've never actually seen the smaller one. I was the suspension, steering and alignment specialist at a very nice family-owned Chrysler dealership for 9 years and I replaced a lot of these. If the length seems to be the problem, you just have to push on the truck sideways. That's what the bar is for, ... To keep it from moving sideways relative to the front axle. I can also share the procedure to determine when the bar is defective and causing a miserable steering wander.
