Because you are attaching a device designed to restrict lateral movement of your steering, you don't want to have a part that isn't designed and built properly. You want to look for a stabilizer that offers multiple circuits for controlling both low and high speed damping forces. With only a single damping control the device is either too hard to use at low speeds, to compensate for higher speeds, or conversely too soft at high speeds. Ohlins makes many OEM units, supplies race teams all over the world and builds some of the most desirable suspension systems for motorcycles.
Scott's Performance Products also makes a world class damper. Having won the Baja 17 times, they have a track record of performing at the very highest level. Both of these manufacturers offer multiple control circuits to provide a wide range of adjustment.
Hyperpro is another company with a top shelf steering damper. They use what they bill as "Reactive Safety Control" effectively creating a progressive damping that is always unobtrusive at low speeds but effectively "dampens" the hard hits that you need it to.

If the shaft seal is dry and looks good but you still suspect the stabilizer is bad, you can unbolt one side of it from its mount and see how much force is required to move the shaft in and out.
You should feel constant and even resistance as you draw the shaft in and out. If the resistance is low or there are dead spots in the shaft travel that offer little to no resistance, then it's time to change out your steering stabilizer. Q- My Jeep didn't come with a factory steering stabilizer. Can I still add one? A-There are many aftermarket steering stabilizers available. A quick internet search can usually find you one that's in your budget and that has either a universal mount or, in many cases, has a direct-fit bracket mounting system that will allow you to put a steering stabilizer on your vehicle.
Q- When do I need a heavy-duty or gas-charged steering stabilizer? A-There's no hard and fast rule on how gnarly a steering stabilizer you should be running, but in general if your wheels are on the heavy side like a big, wide steel off-road wheel, or if your tires are large , , or inch-diameter with a big, wide footprint that will really grab on and get pulled around by road irregularities, then you'd most likely benefit from a heavy-duty or gas-charged steering stabilizer that can better withstand and control the forces that will be imparted on the steering system.

Q- Does every Jeep need a steering stabilizer? Q- Will a steering stabilizer cure death wobble? This is NOT the case with the Carli stabilizers; one could run high and low mount stabilizers with stock tires without experiencing any wheel stiffness.
We worked to ensure our stabilizers provide a damped, yet active feel to avoid the numb, stiff feeling found in most aftermarket stabilizer kits. My 06 F comes from the diff. Tell me what ya think? Thanks Ben. F SD 6. My issue 1. Bottom line not comfortable with play in the steering wheel.. Thank you in advance Bob Cione. The stabilizer will provide more control over your steering but the play in the wheel is determined by the condition of your steering gear and linkage.
A stabilizer can not remove slop from a worn joint or box. Most common culprit on these trucks are a worn steering gear and drag link. I would just like to have a good 2. I would like to have the same tires and wheel in the rear. Not sure what to do in the rear I have leaf springs with no air assist.
Any suggestion? Do you make a leveling kit at this time. We recommend an extra inch of lift in the rear to compensate for the additional lift the Diesel springs provide the gas motor.
A popular choice is the Commuter 2. This will provide a We have prototype gas coil springs that have been tested on the 6. Hi I have an f super duty 7.
Do you provide one. Have had my ram dually 2WD aligned 2 times and still pulls to the right. Question is, will this correct my issue? Hi guys. What tires are you running? What direction are your caster-cams pointing on both sides?
Have you removed the stabilizers from the truck and driven it to see if that alleviates the issue? I have a F that I would like to equip with your 2. My question is, do I need the upper and lower steering stabilizers and adjustable trac bar, or will it still drive properly without them? Hi Shar — The truck will drive fine with our leveling kit and your factory stabilizer until you increase the tire size.
We recommend adding the lower to your factory upper when running 35s and both our stabilizers when you get to 37s. I put the Carli pin-top on my F 4X4 Powerstroke! I want to get my front end up another inch or so , can I buy the next step coil spring and be alright?
I have a F Tremor with the 3. Works great! Only happens when turning right, not left. Truck steers great and drives straight. No tire rubbing. I laid under the truck and had someone turn right a few times.
