duel steering stabilizers

Do they really make a difference? Is it a night and day difference? Does it stop it from wondering or just help it out. Is it harder to steer running them? any info would be great.

They do when you have large tires and/or drive on bumpy terrain a lot. But duals won't fix a current problem. They may just hide the problem until whatever's causing the problem finally breaks completely. Or worse, they may just cause an even bigger problem.

Compared to no stabilizer or the OEM one, yes.

Steering stabilizer's were never meant to help with wandering. They're meant to absorb shocks to the steering components. They have been known to help with some amount of vibration in the front-end though. Wandering is generally an issue caused by something being out of alignment, hubs, frame, etc.

No, the power steering masks the feel of the duals. It does however put more strain on your steering components.

If you have wider tires it tends to follow the little nooks and crannys of the road you'll have wondering no matter what. I have dual stabilizers on my truck and they helped a lot with the bump steering problem I had. It helped with the wondering a little bit. Just my experience!
