steering stabalizer

I worked on my truck all day doing radiator flush, oil change, and the 6637 mod and I noticed that the steering stabalizer was missing, which explains that wicked bump steer last night. I found the previous owner's phone number in the glove box and called him. He said it was there when he traded it in. I asked him about the rust and he said it was clean as well, so it looks like one of the two dealers who had it since him used and abused it. I was wondering if anyone had a spare stabalizer laying around or if I nee to spring for a new one. Thanks

That's probably your best bet. I'm not a huge Rancho fan, but just about any aftermarket stabilizer will be superior to the stock one. It's no better than the other OE shocks...which is..too soft to dampen anything.

Just ordered a Rough Country kit from Summit Racing for $60 including shipping. Can't wait to get it. Hit heavy rain tonight and the puddles got a little hairy.

That's a good kit. I have their dual stabilizer set-up on my Bronco.
