2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission 02 steering stabilizer

[Tractorat]

I suspect that the steering stabilizer on my truck is getting worn out. The truck only has about 60k on it, and hasnt been driven off road more than just a few miles in its life. Just wondered how many miles others are getting on their 2nd gen stabilizers.



Thanks,

TRat

Close as I can narrow it down, it was around 55K on my truck, am at 74K now.
With all of the other steering issues this truck has, I didn't see/feel much difference after replacing it.

I added a Rancho Steering Stabilizer (RAN-RS5404) at 64k miles. The only problem that I had was that the bushing was the wrong size and I had to press out and reuse the OEM bushing for correct fit. At the same time I added the DSS Steering Mount. I noticed a complete difference in the feel (much firmer) but it was probably more the DSS than the new stabilizer.

How do you get the bolt out of the tie rod end of the stablizer? I want to replace mine but my fork won't push it out.
