Well got a monroe steering stabilizer (SA1930) today, has any one ever add one to there 2wd truck? Any tips?

From what i can tell i am going to have to drill 2 holes in the frame so i can get the brackets for the stabilizer mounted.

Just looking for any hits or tips, or even photos of what yalls look like.

 

It really is just that easy, how you install it depends on the configuration and kit. I have seen some steering stabilizers on the cross member and others to the frame. Then with the wheels centered pointing straight, the other end of the stabilizer gets bolted to the drag link with those U-bolts.

It just needs enough travel so you can turn the wheels both ways.

 

Trying to install it this morning and monroe gave the crappiest set of instruction ever. I do not know where on the frame to mount this.

Does the stabilizer need to be level with the truck or the tie rod? It says nothing, it just says put here, tighten here, turn wheels all the way left all the way right. Im not sure what to do.... cant find anything online ughhh

 

Wish I could add something constructive, but I haven't even heard of this part. I will watch, however, and try to learn.

I believe you can install it like this or the other. The second picture is for a 2wd.

 

See the monroe one comes where you bolt it to the frame and where the stabilizer connects to that piece is on the out side of the frame and i think my 33's will rub on it so i am going to take it back anyways.

The skyjacker one ( looks like in pic 1) where the stabilizer bolts up is on the inside of the frame which 33's wont rub on and the skyjacker looks better quality and a better design.

 

Get my Skyjacker steering stabilizer in today. Put it on went and test drove it.... Help out a little but not much... Still wants to jerk over on bumps... Guess its time for the steering box...

 

My bronco jerks over bumps. I replaced the steering box and it helped some. Do you have a lot of play in the steering wheel?

I plan to do the whole front end On mine.

Tie rods. Ball joints. Pitman arm. I think that will help. Prolly do a stabilizer too.

 

I have a little play. When the truck is started and you rock the steering wheel back and forth just a bit the front tires wont move. It takes a bit more to get the tires to move with the wheel.

Had my front end checked and they said drag link to passenger side needed to be changed. Did that... just a little improvement.

Also said my bearing were a little loose but not bad. Im stumped. I dont know what to do other than the steering box.
I know its a 17 year old truck with big tires but damn it handles like s**t.
