1992 Dodge W350 Fits stabilizers

Added to the old 1992 Cummins 1st Generation 4x4 Dodge. Wow. He definitely did it so well it's creepy. I've driven this truck for almost 10 years without hesitation or changing front end components and this year it started to wobble back and forth in long right hand turns where you didn't have to touch the wheel so all steering joints dumped. However. This took a while before changing the front elements BUT: standard disclaimer that if you see one of these installed on a truck it may be hiding problems with the front so keep those steering and suspension parts nice and new. Either way, you won't really notice it, except that if you try to turn the steering wheel very quickly, there's a little resistance. I think the little drag is what tends to stop the old wobble in its path. 9/10 works great. Installation took about 2 hours but I was in no rush. Water and soap will help insert the rubber bushings into the shock absorbers. heavy stuff. Make sure you have enough clearance between the tie rod plate bolts and your leaf springs, mine is about 1/4 inch apart and I could reverse the plates as shown on the top of the tie rod in the picture for part of the mind. One point because 3 of the 4 shock absorber nuts/bolts were cross-threaded, but like any pure-blood American, the old percussion gun would screw them nice and tight until the next sucker had to cut them off. 8 places and the manufacturer's website to see if it will fit my truck and luckily it had to bend some brake lines a bit but it's no big deal.

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Not sure
