TTB Steering Stabilizer
Let me preface this by saying, tie rods and upper ball joints have been replaced about 10,000 miles ago according to info of the previous owner of my truck. That being said, I am thinking about getting a single steering stabilizer from Moog or Monroe. My truck has Moog 824's and is sitting on 32/11.50r15s. The Moogs and stiffer sidewalls of the new tires did help quite a bit, but I still have quite a bit of sway in the steering especially at higher speeds when hitting holes and such.
Anyone had any luck with a single steering stabilizer on a mostly stock suspension?

having front and rear sway bars mounted in good poly bushes help sway bigtime, especially bigger bars. a steering damper will help when hitting bumps, i like to run one but it will not cover up incorrect alignment.

I would have to agree. Just spent quite a pretty penny for a good alignment. It was expensive but well worth it after I installed the Moog 824s. Camber, caster, and toe are spot on. However, hadnt even thought about sway bars. My truck doesn’t have any sway bars any where. Guess that just shows it’s age since it’s an 1985. Will sway bars from any 80-96 bolt up fine?

Thanks for the input especially since we have the same model truck! But I’ve been looking at a Monroe brand stabilizer that comes with all the brackets from Oreilly’s for only $40. Sounds like a pretty good deal from all of the positive feedback from them.

Yeah for OE replacement if not a little more performance than OE, Monroe is good stuff, I agree! Sounds like the route I need to go, thanks.

SA1930 should have all the required brackets bushings and the stabilizer to install one on a truck that doesn’t have one. I recently sold my truck but I had a rough country one on mine and I had to make a new frame side bracket because the one they sent bent, I believe the Monroe bracket will be better but I have not personally used it I just know they make pretty good equipment.
