Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Bilstein B8 5100 Front Steering Damper - Silver, Model 33-174525 by Patrick Diaz

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The steering system is worth every penny

I picked up my 02 Silverado 1500HD about a year ago. He's been driving 35 seconds since then, but at times I felt like I was steering the boat because it was pulling left and right at highway speed. I thought I somehow screwed up on the lift, I thought maybe my steering and suspension parts were bad, but even after replacing the old parts with heavier aftermarket parts I still had the same problem. One day I was looking for a replacement for my shock absorbers and came across it by accident. My truck had mounts for it, but it NEVER had a steering damper. I read some of the reviews and decided it wouldn't be the worst hundred bucks I've ever spent, so I decided to go ahead and buy it. It arrived today and literally took me about 5 minutes to put it on. Just got back from a test drive and it's a WORLD different! I finally feel like driving a truck again! No more pulling left or right, it drives like an arrow. I've heard another noise it's never made, but it's completely unrelated. The magic of an old truck with 275,000 miles is that if you fix one thing, another thing breaks ๐Ÿ˜‚ Still, I love it! But seriously, buy it if you haven't already!

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • Poorly thought out
