Review on 🔧 Bilstein 33 Series 170794 Monotube Steering Damper by Justin Peck

I drive a 2017 RAM 3500 DRW HO with Aisin. This particular stabilizer bar says it's not designed for my truck. Thought I'd give it a try anyway as the dimensions and mounting points were pretty much the same as the stock ones. I measured the length of the stabilizer bar unfolded and folded while still mounted on the truck and concluded it would fit. And so it was. However, I had to relocate the end that attached to the Synergy stabilizer mount; it was too wide. I didn't want to spend money on dual stabilizer kits, especially since I would have to buy another Synergy stabilizer mount to make it work. I use Synergy Drag Link and Synergy Tie Rod for RAM and knew if I wanted to upgrade to a dual setup I would have to buy another mount to clamp on the driver's side. So a $245 Bilstein double set instantly became $345. I've heard some reviews from both Revain and other online sources stating that the stabilizer with a charge of nitrogen caused the left hand to "jump" on the steering wheel. I was also concerned about this as the truck is already trying well to push the truck to the left like it has been doing; I didn't mean to make it worse. I am happy to report that I am NOT noticing more "radial thrust" than before. I think. I haven't ridden enough miles with the new anti-roll bar to know for sure. I'll update it in about 2,000km and let you know if it has any impact on steering efforts. The placebo effect must be overcome after time and kilometers. I installed it last night and rode to work on my usual route with no noticeable difference in "traction". I will say that the damping capacity of a stock anti-roll bar is much better with 91,000+ miles on a truck. The same road that used to cause my steering wheel to "bounce" or "flop" now feels better. When driving over bumps in the road or on roads with a lot of small bumps, the steering wheel doesn't seem to wobble as much. I will say that the increased cushioning capacity was worth the purchase. I still have to ride a few miles on different surfaces to be sure that the "handlebar traction" has changed. Thank you for reading.
