I need a new steering stabilizer.

[Forrest]

Howdy all.





I've got a 96, 4wd. The steering stabilizer is giving it up ... leaking.



You replaced yours? What did you buy & where did you get it?





Thanks

I installed a KORE stabilizer on my 01. I had to slightly modify it to fit. It works great.

Forrest, I put a Rancho on my 95. I think I got it from Summit. Jeff

Rancho

Forrest,



I put a Rancho on mine. Actually I had the tire shop that did the front end alignment and left the adjusting bolts pointing at it replace it. Caused failure when it got punchered. I could not get the old one off. Do a search and you will find suggestions on removal

Used a Pro Comp on mine.

The adapter didn't fit the taper quite right and

wasn't long enough to use the castle nut.

Was it a tough job to modify & what needed to be done. Really want that Fox stabilizer.

I replaced the factory stabilizer with a Rancho. When removing the factory one, you'll need to pop it out with an air hammer. I noticed when installing the Rancho,when the time comes to replace it, I'll only need wrenches. Just my opinion... John

The machined aluminum clamp that attaches to the draglink had to be relieved a few 000's on the back side as it was too close to the diff cover(stock) to suit me. Mine is the older style, so the new design may have more clearance. Kent should know.

I picked up the Rancho unit today. John ... you're right ... that baby won't come outa there. :-{}



Of course, there isn't much room to beat on it from the backside.

What are the part #'s for the Kore,Rancho, or others that may be used? What makes getting the old one out so hard? tappered bolt im guessing?



Thanks guys!

Rancho is RS5404 w/Summit p/n RAN-RS5404 ... $43. 95

 

[Forrest]

Hey John ... the air hammer suggestion ... Oo. Sweeeet tool.



What a difference that Rancho guy has made ... sure has the "feel" of having tightened things up.

I used a Dual setup on my 04 from SKYJACKER. Had to drill one hole and everything fit really good!

Forest,



I used a pitman arm puller. I “rented” it from Pep Boys. $15 deposit refunded in full when the tool is returned. Do be careful. When the thing finally lets go, it goes of like a shotgun!
