Shock absorbers reduce the up-and-down motion of the suspension and wheels, allowing tire contact to be maintained and a rough ride to be prevented. Steering dampers, also called steering stabilizers, act as shock absorbers for your steering mechanism, reducing side-to-side action and ensuring smooth, predictable driving.
Steering dampers and stabilizers can become useless, like shocks' damping capacity declines with time. We provide new steering dampers and stabilizers to improve steering feel and stability if you're suffering noise, poor steering feel, or steering wheel wobble.
Although not found on all vehicles, steering dampers & stabilizers are original equipment on many cars, trucks, and SUVs because the manufacturer deemed that the design or intended use of the vehicle necessitated such components to provide satisfactory steering operation.
Steering dampers & stabilizers prevent vibration, shimmy, and bump steer, especially on heavy vehicles or ones fitted with large tires and driven over rough terrain or through hazardous road conditions like crosswinds, potholes, and passing tractor-trailers.
Large, heavy automobiles, especially those with larger than standard wheels and tires, are more prone to steering shimmy. The feared "death wobble," in which the wheels oscillate wildly after striking a bump, forcing the driver to struggle with the steering wheel to control the vehicle. Catching a bump or a hole can create a "bump steer," in which the vehicle deviates from the intended path and steers in an unexpected direction. Preventing such events requires a well-working steering damper/stabilizer.
You should check the steering damper or stabilizer if any of the above indications are present. Examine the damper body for actual damage such as rust and dents caused by collisions and signs of fluid leaking, which would be an apparent reason for poor damper function. Look for cracks and looseness in the mounts and fractures, dry rot, and breakdown in the bushings, which might cause the noise.
Whether the damper is uninstalled, the shaft should have the same amount of resistance when stretched or compressed, and if the damper is worn, the effort needed will be less than it would be on a fresh damper. If steering dampers and stabilizers are necessary, we provide OE-style steering dampers and stabilizers that will fit and work just like the original but at a significantly lower cost.
We offer vehicle-specific steering dampers and stabilizers for numerous vehicles, trucks, and SUVs. Still, we also have universal fit stabilizers, including ones intended explicitly for Class A and Class C motorhomes' specialized needs. These stabilizers will take the car back towards the center if a front tire blows off during high crosswinds and when semi-trucks approach and face rutted roads, bumps, and potholes.
Driving a huge vehicle like an RV in such circumstances may be exhausting, but you can stay comfortable, in command, and safer on the road with our stabilizers. We provide a vast assortment of mounting brackets and bushings that complement our steering dampers and stabilizers.
From fitment help from our in-house experts to shipping packages, we'll take care of you and your Steering Stabilizers every step of the way. We know how much of a financial investment you're making in a set of Steering Stabilizers, accessories, and upgrades. In return, we'll deliver a service and product second to none.
