Oh boy, coilover steering stabilizer?

[Skullver]

What ever will they think of next, and for that price. It amazes me what kind of junk you can find on e-bay, maybe I am in the wrong biz:)

They've been out for a long time now. Very handy (and most popular) on RVs for easier return to center. ;)

What happens if you run dual stabilizers, and put them on in different directions? Would you not be able to turn?

No, they work the same way either direction. They're not like coilover gas shocks...they're valved even for each direction. You either pull the spring when it extends or you push the spring when it compresses.

Oh.

Trailmaster has had them for a while...

I already have return to center steering... it's called an Aussie locked, non-disconnect D30. :D

I'd run em if they were free. Like eksjay said, they run em on ATVs. Cool concept on a jeep.

I did? :confused:

It's interesting to see that in the add you can swerve around a toyota on the freeway with them...and at the bottom they sell them for a toyota.

I bet on the toyota page you can avoid hitting a jeep.

I find it odd that some nut say that it came with precise instructions...

I mean, really,...how hard is it to install.

:dunno:

It needs to be dialed in, seriously. ;) Seems simple to us...but there's always some dunderhead who failed in Jr. High English and can't read the simple instructions. :D

for $122.00 they should come and install it.

not bad for a part that costed $35.00 to make.

:dunno:That is amusing, I just checked and you are right. I happen to own both a toyota 4x4 and a few jeeps, still havn't quite figured out why there is animosity between the two owner groups. They both have thier original upsides/downsides but it all depends on how they are built and driven that the finished products become comparable, and if they are built well, then they usually don't retain much original jeep/toy equipment.

That was a major typo. I was thinking that would be cool to have on ATVs but meant to type that they use them on RVs.


Still, I'd run one. :) (only if it were free)
