Time for New Steering Stabilizer

While going though my monthly under truck inspection I noticed my steering stabilizer was leaking. Are any replacement brands better than others? My truck is not lifted or leveled.

Danka in advance.

I bought the Rough Country one and seems to be OK. I did not have any stabilizer on my truck before. For some reason not all 4x4 did have that?

They have also duals etc. And pretty nice price for OEM replacement.

btw, remeber to buy the boot also! I had to order it later as it did not came automatically

If you have the stock little (small diameter tube) steering stabilizer you may have to go with the O.E. replacement or aftermarket mount. I went to Napa and Autozone and the replacements they listed were too big to fit right. Got one at the stealership for $55.

The Bilstein 5100 series (model #: F4-BE5-6253-H5) is supposed to fit the stock stabilizer mounts. I have one awaiting install.

I put a Rancho on my truck, got it from JC Whintey for about 40 bucks. My old one had found a stump or something hard. It was that way when I got my truck. Anyway the new one seems to hold the road better. It came with a boot also. Good luck.

$39 on ebay for the Rough Country one. Direct bolt in replacement. I was told by them to use it without a boot as the boots collect water/debris and cause premature failure of the shock.
