Post 2wd steering stabilizer

I've seen several ads in lmc,karkrafters,jc whitney,etc. for a steering stabilizer kit for 2wds.Anybody used one of these yet?Sounds like a good piece to have but haven't heard of anyone using one.Thanks.

2wd steering stabilizer

I installed one on my 2wd f150. I think it was a heckthorn that I bought on ebay for $15. I have to be honest, no big improvement. I really can't tell the difference with or without. I'm sure it is damping some of the road vibration, but it really isn't the difference between night and day. It's more like the difference between dawn and dusk. But, it's not really hurting anything and I laugh everytime I think about having it down there. Good luck with your decision.

2wd steering stabilizer

when I first got my 77 I had horrible steering and thought one of these would be the answer to my problems. It helped my control a little but because of the steering probs they didnt last long. Over time I corrected what was wrong and have never since used them. The truck runs straight as an arrow.
