yup, so true! i love the trucks running down the road with 2 or even 4 stabilizers under the truck! i just point and laugh. the steering on those trucks have got to be so unresponsive, its prolly dangerous!

That's a new one!

Like he said, all a steering stabilizer is, is a band aid(cover up).

I have one, but could do with out it. I should spend the money to properly replace the things that need to be, but I don't roll it on the road much to justify the money.

nah.....just make sure you mount it where the "coilover" is in its unsprung state.....

that way it would just return to center and not turn by itself...
