Who makes the best steering stabilizer ????

[Drock]

I'm at the point where I need to replace the shocks + steering stabilizer. There seems to be quite ah few after market versions of these. The intent is to use this truck as a daily driver. What would be the best steering stabilizer for this. Thanks

I bought a MOOG stabilizer off of rockauto.

A new Moog stabilizer takes care of my 11.00/20's. No shimmy or shake whatsoever.

Hope this helps.

Rancho

I just installed a Rancho Steering Stabilizer. I have not driven it yet as it is still in the body shop. If you are not is a real hurry, I should be able to evaluate it in a week or so and let you know how it does. It is massive compared to the OEM and I expect it to work really well.

A factory AC Delco for me from Napa works great even with the 37's and no wheel weights. Think it was $30.

I put one on my 1008 from autoZone. The cheapest they had, it was in stock.
So far so good. The old one was leaking oil down the bottom, all the way down.

What part number is the Rancho??

My M1009 is a daily driver. I installed a Rancho stabilizer on my M1009. The part number is on my thread:

The steering is so much more crisp and responsive with the new components.

While you're under your truck, try to break the tie rod adjusting sleeves loose. If they don't budge, replace the tie rod end, bar, stabilizer, and shocks. Make sure you use a quality grease in the ball joints (I use synthetic). Take your truck to a reputable shop and get the front end aligned.

I thought the m1009's had 3/4 ton axles? My m1028 has ah Dana 60 5/4 ton. Would they use the same stabilizer?

 

[ODFever]

I believe it is the same stabilizer. If you want to make sure, call your local auto parts store and give them the part number I referenced. Find out which trucks that part fits.

Rancho Steering Stabilizer

I finally got to do a very short test drive with the new Rancho steering stablizer. It made a huge difference in handling and stability. I think is was the 5200 series. It is about 50 percent heavier and larger than the stock one.
