Steering Stabilizer
This Past weekend I used my truck to go outand pick up a new race car. One the mainreasons I go this truck was so that I could start trailering my car to thetrack, the tracks are typically a fairly long haul the closest one being 90 milessome are 300. One thing that I hadhappen was terrible bump steer I was wondering if a steering stabilizer wouldhelp and if so what you would recommend.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com

If your worried about the slop, I would recommend you inspect all steering linkages and replace.
I was able to tow a 14 mustang GT across the country and back.
I see stabilizers as a off-road thing so the wheel does kick back at you when you hit something

The van guys seem to like having a stabilizer added. Was available on ambulance package vans, and all the holes are there to add it. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...ering-fix.html
Might be worth looking into. Not sure if it was a factory option on trucks.
Newer front brakes from a 2008-up van should fit a 2wd truck as well. Thicker rotors, needs new rotors-calipers-brackets.
