Steering stabilizer? - Land Rovers Only

texasrover · 07-28-2006, 09:36 AM

What should I expect to feel when this is worn out. As is, it walks a little and the steering wheel has a lot of feed back with grooves in the road. I can feel it pulling the wheel and almost fight to correct it then usually as I get it corrected the grooves change enough to make my correction and over correction. I am flirting this being pulled over for suspected drunk driving.

Does this sound like a stabilizer?

BTW... it tracks just fine... with no real pull on smooth roads.

I ran about 10k mile without one. Then, I started to get a "shake" in the steering wheel, so I install a new one. That did not correct my problem. I got the tires re-balanced, and all was well.

So, I'm not too sure you'll "feel" anything. I'd say it does help a little with bump-steer, though

i just had my rrc t-rods, aliment, balanced/rotated and acouple of other things done because it was pulling to the right and it helped out alot but i still have alittle play in the steering wheel on my '93 factory steering dampers. it drive straight as it could ever get (roads r never that perfect) i just order a ome damper at lrr for $60 which is a great deal! so next wk when i put it in i will tell u if it make a differnts. i think it will. i am a picky person about my steering and pulling. aaron
