Review on Rough Country Steering Brace Dodge by Craig Kimball

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The strut CAUSES my steering lock

A 3 inch jack was installed on my truck and I was warned it could cause steering lock. Bought these braces as a preventive measure. Installation was easy for 2 people. The nut had 2 problems. Problem number one is that it's impossible to find a nest deep enough and wide enough to hold a . Problem number 2 is that the R&D team dropped the ball and created this space in the nut that houses gear 2. In other words, it is impossible to fully tighten the nut. This means the link arm isn't tight against the gearbox, which allows for flex and causes the steering deflection that the shock absorber is designed to prevent. In addition, the bearing bores that are supposed to stabilize the steering gear are misaligned, which put undue stress on my steering gear. The complete breakdown and the need to replace this steering gear. Save your money, this product will cause harm to your vehicle and possibly unsafe situations.
