Anyway to add a steering stabilizer?

With the new bigger tires they grab every dip in the road. Truck has been aligned to proper specs since lift and tires were put on. I know we have rack and pinion but is there anything else that can be done?

 

I think its possible, here is an IFS F150 with a FAbCrap stabilizer on it, just need shocks of appropriate length. I think I am going to have at it.

 

And why is that?

 

and what "spec" would that be?

my bet is your alignment is fubar.

You got the paperwork? take a pic and post it.

 

it drives straight as an arrow. it was aligned a very reputable shop...it grabs dips in the road..like very other lifted truck ive had...just couldnt find any info on a stabilizer

 

So you "think" its driving right but really have no clue if your caster is fubar or not.

What I am getting at is that if YOU didn't supply the shop with the proper alignment numbers for a lifted Tacoma they most likely aligned you to stock specks which will be 100% incorrect for a lifted truck.

Should be

0* camber
0* toe
2.7-3.0* caster

 

Yes SKIP I know what im talking about and yes so does the shop. They specialize in lifted vehicles and the specs are right. my caster is not "fubar" and my truck is driving right.

 

then you shouldn't need a "steering stabilizer".

guys are racing these trucks in the desert just fine and you need a steering stabilizer for pot holes.?. seriously?

why not just ask the all knowing shop?

Just trying to help you. Improper caster would do the same thing you are complaining about. Just saying....

 

Here you go hopefully something helpful. I have two stabilizers on like the picture above.

Part Number FTS7009-----its a Fabtech part. Just google it. Comes with instructions and should be easy to install.

Heres a Link to Amazon where i found one

Fabtech FTS7009 Steering Stabilizer

IMHO ive had the stabilizers off and on.....with them off it does exactly what he says. With them on the steering is more controllable. I like a nice ride, without the steering wheel trying to jerk out of my hands.

 

Im guessing the older 2nd Gens dont have rack and pinion. Dont think it will work. But thank you. I really cant find anything..guess theres nothing available....yet

 

Post a printout of the alignment sheet.you got a printout right?

 

sorry...i tried. I even dug the old box out, just for you to have the Part number

 

every 2nd gen has rack and pinion steering

 

I dont know what we would all do with out you SKIP. You were a huge help....if anyone saw me complaing please point it out to me...2nd i never said pot holes...and 3rd i did ask them and there response was to see if there were any stabilizer kits out yet....just saying

 

Nope, but I know it's right. they specialize in 4wd trucks that are lifted....

















and their name is 4WP..... BWAHAHAHAHAHA

 

So i may be right??? the stabilizer attaches to your outer tie rod, and a bracket they supply that goes on the frame.

 

Fucking wow

 

I just want to be right about something dammit lol
