Thank you. Very informative. Considered a stablelizer and now I went to check the linkage. Turns out that there's a huge indent as if previous owner jacked it up using the linkage. Thanks so much.

I want to share my experience with everyone stepping into the “death wobble” game. I have been driving Chevys for the last 30 years, so I was a stranger to the death wobble issue that Fords are plagued with. I bought the truck used at a Ford dealer in October of 2020. It was in very good cosmetic shape and what seemed to be good engine and transmission condition. It had 185,000 miles on it. The tires were all new as well. In the first month, I had some serious vibration issues coming from the front left tire. Ford had used a third party to install this set of tires, so I went to the installer to have them checked. Clearly, the front left tire had a ‘rise’ on it. Even though the business acknowledged it, they refused to warranty it - and they only had about 100 miles on them. I had the tire put on the rear to get the vibration out of the front end.
Fast forward to November of 2021 - This was the first time I had a death wobble on the truck. I thought it was a flat tire. It did it twice on the trip and I was perplexed because I couldn’t find any issue that would merit such a horrible gyration. After that day, it was intermittent and random. But as the months passed, it became more frequent. After having pull this stunt in big city traffic on overhead freeways, I knew something had to be done.
I took it to an old school wheel alignment shop that I have been using for years. They were very familiar with the issue and kept a stock of the necessary Ford OEM parts to replace everything with. However, it did not fix the issue. After a couple of months, I purchased the SuperLift Dual Steering Stabilizer kit and the required 3-inch leveler (I found mine on AmericanTrucks.com) with Bilstein Shocks for the front. I took the truck to a local diesel mechanic, and he swore that the stabilizer kit would do nothing for the death wobble. He pointed out some parts he believed to have play in them and guaranteed me that replacing those would fix it. He was wrong. I did not have him put the kit on afterwards.
I took the truck home and decided to do the work myself. I wanted to put in the shocks first and test it to see if that alleviated the issue before putting on the stabilizer kit. On removing the stock shocks, the left one was clearly shot and the right one was right behind it. I put the leveler kit on installed the new shocks with a new trackbar bracket to compensate for the added height. I had it realigned, and the problem was worse than before.
I then installed the SuperLift Dual Steering Stabilizer kit and the issue stopped. I have taken it over bad spot I know that would throw it into convulsions before and it never went into the wobble. Therefore, for me, the stabilizer kit did fix the issue.
There is no doubt for me that the tires are a part of the issue. But eating another $2,000 bucks to replace tires that have 10,000 miles on them is quite unattractive. For now, this will carry me to the point when I’m ready to purchase a new set.
This has been my experience with the whole issue - not just conjecture. I hope it helps someone else trying to fix this idiotic setup by Ford.
Your issue is the track bar and track bar brace. Get heavy duty off-road tie rod, drag bar and track bar you’ll be good
@@danamcwhite Thanks for the input. I had already the things you've stated, except they were OEM. Since the stabilizer addition and a set of new Goodyears, no more problems.
Lifted '16 RAM 2500 on Carli Back Country with 35" ATIIIs. Rides like a dream, no need for stabilizers yet.
Great video as usual 👍🏻
_I have a quad-steering-stabilizer, two hands on the wheel, and two shock stabilizer... I have a smooth ride, but my knuckles are white driving around! Just say! Great information, thanks!_
Good work love the vids
Had death wobble in my 2nd gen ram 1500. To fix it replaced the track bar and tie rod ends. Steering stabilizer wasnt a fix, just covered up the problem. Running clapped out ball joints with no real issue.
Great information!
Appreciate the straight forward truth
Great info, thank you.
You bet!
Hey quick question I have a 2006 Tacoma looking for some stabilizers. I'm running a 6inch lift w/ 36. Which stabilizer would be the best for me??
***QUESTION*** I gotta ? So I have a 2019 F350 Lariat set up with 37 Toyo Mt (the only tire I will use) 22x12 -44 offset wheel, with a 6 inch Zone lift with fox 2.0 shocks. So I have 47000 miles on the truck now, the truck rides great! No wobble, no pulling, etc. The truck couldn't ride better! That being said, so my question and concern is would the steering stabilizer help with the tie rods, the front end long haul performance, plus the other components within the wheels setup?? Thankyou
I have an 04 volvo xc70 (@monsterxc70) with a full custom lift. I just did a tierod flip to straighten the steering angles and now it feels loose and floating over bumps (bad bump steer). Is there a steering stabilizer for a rack and pinion system?
I have an '85 Chevy G30 Chevy Van. New tie rod ends, pitman arm, idler arm and front sway bar bushings. Still drifts slightly on the highway. Its much better than before but still not like new. Would a steering damper help? Thanks.
Hi. We have a Ford excursion. Fairly big lift lift and tires. All over the road . We just bit the billet for new upper and lower ball joints on the solid front axle. Didn’t do much. Oh and alignment. Now Pukked off the steering stabilizer shocks and they are fabtech seem old and worn. Thining about putting down new decent stabilizer shocks on What do you think and any tips ?
Do you have a Recommended kit for a '19 tundra with a 6in lift and 35in tires? I've been debating getting stabilizer but I don't know anything about them.
I run a dual steering stabilizer on my truck with stock size tires. Just like how they feel when towing heavy with my Ram Cummins.
1978 on 16X35 tires. Do you recommend the after market dual steering stabilizers for this application? Can’t find many other options and curious if you have a take
Thank you
Solid video, just one comment for others. Cody made a point toward the end about a steering stabilizer "fixing" death wobble and commented how it's true and false. Replacing a steering stabilizer when you have death wobble will help mask the wobble only if the wobble isn't severe and only until the wobble wears out the stabilizer. Even if you wobble isn't bad the longer you run around with it the more it's going to bear up that steering stabilizer among other things until you address the problem.
On a JK I used to own I went through 3 different steering stabilizers in under a year due to the issue. It wasn't until I tracked down the root problem and from that day on never had an issue with it.
Yep. Jeeps are good for worn track bar bushings, which allow the whole axle to shift, side-to-side, and starts death wobble.
@@kenroot5682 My issue was actually a relatively known issue of the incorrect size of bolt going through the track bar mount. I don't know how many years but apparently jeep has used a metric bolt with a SAE hole which when lifted with larger tires caused the mount to ovalize. Installing a synergy track bar brace solved my issue there but I was mainly bringing it up to let others know that you'll continue to wear out shocks for your stabilizer if you don't correct the core problem.
That’s interesting. I’m not Jeep guy, so not familiar with the bolt deal. But, am familiar with track bar bushing wear, going back to the 70’s Fords and newer Jeeps.
I dnt no wat jk is
@@ronzalabak3583 jk refers to the jeep JK, or the specific generation of jeeps.
What is you opinion of the Safe-T-Plus steering stabilizer that is used on Class A Rv and bigger.
Do you have a gas shock stabilizer option for Jeep Wrangler. I have 37” Toyo muds and they pull right. I hate it. Have a teraflex 2.2 on stiff setting which helps but want to get something that pushes against that pull to right. Thanks.
Hi Cody. How’s it going. I have a 2019 f250. With a 2inch spacer on stock wheels. I get the death wobble every time I hit a bump on the freeway, Specially the 91hwy. What do you recommend. It’s pretty scary specially when I’m commuting with the wife and girls. What do I need to not ever ever experience this again.
Question will this stabilizer help me not to go through tires so quickly cuz I have a 2015 GMC Sierra Denali 2500 with 6-in lift kit on 35 and just the driver side the inner tire where is out a lot quicker than the other three tires but everything is in the green now as it should be when I get it aligned so if I get a stabilizer will that make a difference.
I upgraded to a mud tire and got a fresh alignment but now pulls to the left on highway will a aftermarket stabilizer help that?
I'm experiencing a radial pull to the right since I went taller and wider tires.
I have a 2016 2500hd chevy pickup with 41 thousand miles I put and 8 offset wheel on a went a shorter but wider tire and on the roads down her we have grooves in them from trucks and sometimes it will catch them and also pull a camper and fifth wheel trailer and would like to avoid the bump steer what do you recommend for a steering stabilizer?
Can you add fox dual stabilizers on a 21 F150? Having the 2” fox leveling kit and really heavy wheels and tires I’d like to have the fox stabilizers if possible? Want longevity as much as possible!
Hey Cody. Another great video, teasing me yet again, with the prototype "skid" plate on the 2020 Ram. Can't wait to buy one!!! Any updates?
Signed, sleepless in Seattle (Dave ). Seriously though, I really enjoy the informational videos you all produce. I'm hooked on CJC.
Same!! I want that skid plate badly! Also hey hey from Washington!
They are SO close. Currently in production now and should be ready in a couple weeks! Launching a new product in a COVID world has been challenging to say the least!
@@CJCOffRoad standing by Cody!
Is it beneficial to run both an ats fox steering stabilizer and a dual steering stabilizer ?

Do u have a stabilizer that will work on a 01 dodge 2500 with 4th gen tie rods on it thanks
Thanks dudes
what are wheel and tire specs on black f250
? I know methods, but offset and size
Minty movie .thanks !
Got anything for a 2002 F150 w a 5 inch lift and 35in tires and 20 in rims?
So if I paid for a RC 6”lift all new ball joints, tie rods, upper control arms, lower control arms and front wheel bearings and new 17” wheels with RT 35”s and still have a lil play in my steering wheel, I should buy a steering stabilizer? 2005 Chevy Tahoe 4WD
What if ya install the stabilizer backwards ? Will it still work okay ?
For a truck set up like your Do It All Ford video, running 37 ATs instead of MTs, how would replacing the factory steering damper with a King replacement compare to that PMF kit in terms of functionality? Are the dual stabilizers really necessary with an 37 AT tire?
A true dual (one on the drag link and one on the tie rod) stabilizer set up is ALWAYS the preferred route over having two on the tie rod like most of the dual kits on the market. For trucks getting driven off road hard we recommend both, but for a daily driver you only need one. We recommend the low mount for Fords with Toyo MT tires and the high mount for everything else!
2016 ram 2500 diesel with a thuren level and 37in R/Ts on 18s. It wonders a bit if I accelerate fairly hard. It also pulls to the right when braking. Would a high mount stabilizer fix that?
Check your brakes if it's pulling right, has something to do with brake fluid, brake caliper, brake rotor, or the actual brakes, the steering wouldn't fix a pull but it might fix the wandering
So what would you recommend for a 17 F250 with a 2” lift and leveling kit on 37s R20s? I don’t necessarily have a right or left pull but when I hit uneven surfaces, my steering wheel tries to take me either way. Thank you.
I would try a steering box stabilizer from synergy or Spohn performance. They’re meant to increase the rigidity of where your power steering box is mounted to your pitman arm… Mine helped me reduce steering slop and bump steer ✨ The phenomenon you are describing✨ significantly.
2nd.. what about a shock stabilizer that has a spring over the shock? That work on radial pull like gas more expensive nitrogen chargef
2002 f350 6” lift 37x13.5x18 what would u recommend?
What about for a 95 international 4700. 245/70/19.50 tires on wrecker. ? Will it work
Was waiting for dude to bring out Stewart little
what size tires and rims are on that black ford in the video
what stabilizer would you recommend for 2nd gen 35 tires? maybe one day that would still handle 37s well?
Fox ts ats
Will they help with bump steer?
I have the ats. It’s amazing. I had no pull but I had a lot of feedback. No feed back even off road now at the middle of the stiffness adjustment
The ATS is perfect for people like you that don’t have pull, but really want to squash any feedback!
Very informative, question who makes the best steering stabilizer in your opinion? Rough country? Fox? King? Billistein? Carli?
Carli gets the top spot, followed by Fox and King.
04 ram 1500 with leveling kit. What should I get?
Do you recommend the Fox PERFORMANCE SERIES 2.0 STABILIZER TS for a 2017 2500HD L5P Denali. I will be lifting with a 3" BDS Coil over kit with CST Tie rods and Nitto Ridge Grapplers @ 35x12.5x20's. This is a IFS suspension of course and just wanted to hear your recommendations.
@@douganderson7002 Yeah I finally realized that small fact.
Awesome video!
Question, I recently placed a 2.5 lift/leveling kit on my 2020 Gladiator and put 35" tires. I know you mentioned your concerns about going with too budget friendly products, but what are your thoughts or have you heard any reviews on Rough Country's N3 dual steering stabilizers? Appreciate any feedback, thanks!
We would personally steer clear of them and favor a Fox 2.0 as a budget friendly option.
I just put a RC 3.5” kit on a Chevy duramax and the shocks are complete garbage
What brand did you go with? Asking for a friend
Geat video. Running 37's with a 2.5 Leveling kit on my 2019 F250, looking at purchasing the Fox 2.0 Dual Stabilizers. What is your thought on this setup to prevent radial pull to the right?
You’ll want to run a Carli high mount to correct for a right hand pull. The dual Fox 2.0 setups won’t be able to account for a right pull, which is why we always prefer the Carli high/low setup!
@@CJCOffRoad do you have a link for this setup?
What about gravel and road salt protection
2008 tacoma the wheel kicks when I hit bumps
I own a 2019 F250 and would like to know your recommendation for a sterring stabilizer. Thanks, great channel
We highly recommend a Carli high mount or low mount stabilizer: www.cjcoffroad.com/collections/ford-steering-upgrades-and-components
HELP PLEASE!! I'm SO confused! I just bought a jeep wrangler, it has a little bit of a lift, heavy rims and tires (35's). It also has a dual shock steering stabilizer set up (nothing fancy). I was told by a well known Jeep modification shop they were a bad idea and I should take them off and go with a simple Stabilizer bar. I am reading so many different takes on this. I will never off-road in this Wrangler, I just want it to be as safe as possible, track a straight line, and handle paved curvy roads. So far this video seems like the best educated take on this. Just to be sure though,...You say take them off and go with a single bar?????? THANKS for any help!
Single is all you need
Nice video, I was looking at the Fox TS for my 2016 Ram 2500 6” lift with 37” w/Falken AT3
You made a comment about it not being nitro charged and a wildcard. Would you recommend the Fox or a nitro charge stabalizer?
It all depends on what you’re after! The TS and ATS are great neutral stabilizers if you aren’t looking to account for tire pull, but the Carli high/low is the way to go if you want to have a neutral stabilizer, or need to use the nitrogen pressure to account for tire pull.
Are you able to do a Carli high/low on a ram 2016?
Hey there I have a question.... I have a 2016 F-250 super duty 6.2L gas .....
my stock tire size was 245/70R17
I replaced them with 285/55R20 factory take offs from a 2017 ..... which is a factory option truck has 65,000 miles now and I do a lot of high way driving..... I do not have a death wobble..... should I add a duel kit for more stability and piece of mind???????

any recommendations for a stabilizer on a Tremor, stock height & tires?
The Fox ATS, Carli stabilizer or Fox 2.0 are all good options!
I have your 2.5 level system on my 16 3500 along with the track bar and sway bar upgrade. I have 35x12.5 toyos at2's. Noticed a slight loose feeling for a split second everytime I turn right. somethings seems to be slightly loose? I took the steering stabilizer off and it seems to contract and expand smoothly. Not sure what else it could be. I guessed the stabilizer at first but I'm not so sure now. Apparently one lower ball joint is ready to be replaced 100k miles bit it was still good enough as to where the truck took the alignment just fine after the level instal. Any suggestions?

I have a 92 Ford F150 my steering wheel is loose and I have stabilizer and I no shock bushings and it pulls to my right or left can it be because I don’t have no bushings
All I know is I had a stock Jeep. It wobbled like a freak a day before rent due. Changed everything. Tires, rods, rotors, you name it. Changed the stock stabilizer and it all stopped.
Question:
Will a steering stabilizer help with longevity of steering components?
I have a 2021 F350 Tremor with under 30k miles. I have currently have no issues with my steering.
Actually yes, since a stabilizer's job is to reduce shock and impact transmitted to the steering box. They won't help prevent wear in the steering linkage joints, but do protect everything up stream!
19 f250 2.5" level 37"maxxis razr. Hard pull left. Rotated three times so far, and alignment is perfect. I know you mentioned a typical pull right, do you have a solution for pull left?
I read your other responses. Nevermind. Thank you for the info in this video.
If you have a stock height Jeep Wrangler JK do yourself a favor change the steering stabilizer. I feel Jeep isn't installed with the appropriate steering stabilizer even with street tires.
I have a completely stock 2020 F250 4x4 and I plan on leaving it completely stock. (No lift, leveling, or tire size changes) Am I understanding correctly that a Fox ATS stabilizer would make the steering more stiff. I don’t like how easy it steers I want to feel a little more resistance in the steering
Just curious if you got your answer I’m in the same situation
@@jeffuyen7930 I installed a Fox ATS stabilizer. I really like it. You have to get under the truck of course to turn a screw to adjust the steering stiffness but once you get it adjusted you can just forget about it.
So I have a 2020 ram 3500 with Toto 37 12.5 20 and a right hand pull. What steering stabilizer do you recommend and what is the price?
With a right hand pull you want a Carli high mount. Those will be available in early 2021 so keep an eye on our social media!
Have anything for a 2015 F150??
2011 Ford 250 4.5 Carli lift and toyo rt
Tires I'm getting the upper carli do u recommend the lower as well
Thanks
We typically only recommend doing both the upper and lower Carli for trucks that see hard dirt miles. For basic daily driving, having both is a bit overkill!
Thanks
I’m trying to decide between the ats and the Carli high mount. Is the ats better than the carli for correcting steering feedback as that is my main issue? Or is the Carli high mount basically just as good for that? - 2017 f250 with 37s
The big difference is that the ATS is a neutral stabilizer, so it will not work to correct for tire pull like the Carli high or low stabilizer do. If you’re looking for a neutral stabilizer with adjustable damping though the Fox ATS is fantastic!
@@CJCOffRoad Thanks! But I'm curious if the Carli dampens as well as the Fox ATS?
My friends Jeep with all brand new suspension parts with zero play and good caster has death wobble. Put the fox stabilizer on and zero wobble. I think the harmonics of his tire setup combine with short wheel base caused it. The damper seem to absorb it
2020 Sahara JL, replaced the factory tires with 33’s, no lift kit. Do you think a fox steering stabilizer will be an improvement?
It will likely make a difference, but not a ton.
2014 Jeep JKU 4" lift w/KO2s. All new Synergy steering components. I have no pull either way, so I'm not trying to correct anything. Which stabilizer should I go with and why?
37x12.5x17 KO2s
2008 f250 6 inch lift on 37s. New track bar and still has play in the steering. Any recommendations besides those cheap dual shocks like u was saying? 🤙
You’ll want to watch this video and track down the real source of the play on the truck before buying anything else. That way you know exactly what to replace. Our guess is you have some tired joints in the steering! ruclips.net/video/hMlT17KozJE/видео.html
@@CJCOffRoad thank you much appreciated. She only has 60k miles lol smh I'll get under her and double check
The problem is the steering box. Ford uses a Cardone steering box which are junk. Try looking at a Redhead steering box. It has tighter spindles and you will see less play in the steering.
dude at the dealership said a new stabilizer would fix me DW. i knew it wouldn't.
Toby from the office!!
Can you run stabilizers on 2wd trucks
👍
JLs had defective stabilizers right off the hop, very wobbly.
Hey, I got a leveling kit on my 08 ram with the T style linkage. Replaced, shocks, shocks, adjusted trackbar, tie rod ends, drag link ends and got a fox steering stabilizer and now i have dead wobble. Kept the same stock wheels and tires.

Got an 05 with the 4.5 inch commuter. Carli only has the high mount for the 08+. Could I retro fit it or would it just bolt on
No you’ll want to just stick with the low mount at a neutral pressure, or a neutral steering stabilizer like the ATS.
@@CJCOffRoad Thanks for the info. When I do the lower mount should I get rid of the factory high mount or leave it?
My truck runs great but once I hit about 75 MPH I have a steering wheel and truck shake. I have tried re-balancing tires. Using balancing beads and nothing works. I raised the truck 2.5 with a leveling kit and put 37 under it from the stock 35.5 tires. Would a steering stabilizer fix this problem.
It would help, but you'd be treating the symptom rather than fixing the root cause. What year is your truck? We have a few how to videos that will help you track down the issue.
If I have no radial pull but want a stabilizer, could I run the low mount or high mount? Or are those only for when you have a pull to the left or right?
Either one can be a neutral stabilizer at 40-70 psi of nitrogen charge actually. It's just the people with a pull that need to specifically choose one or the other.
@@CJCOffRoadHi, what if I have a slight pull at low speeds? A pull to the left and to the right, do I need a carli nitrogen high and low steering shock or could I get away with a regular shock?
I have a 2020 tremor on 35x12.50 ridge grapplers. I plan on moving to 37s. Would the fox ats be the best way to go? For my setup
Are you looking to stay with Ridge Grapplers?
@@CJCOffRoad yes
Then the ATS should work, but the Carli high mount is probably our preferred set up. Either way you’ll be happy compared to stock!
@@CJCOffRoad thanks!
Will these stabilizers help with stock suspension but larger tires? my toyos do have a slight pull to the right
Absolutely. Like we said, steering stabilizers have no relation to suspension or suspension height. All that matters is whether or not they work with your steering linkage!
I have a 2021 f250 tremor on order, and plan on leaving the truck stock, tire and "lift" wise. Has ford resolved this issue on the newest builds? Would you recommend upgrading the stabilizer for the stock tremor, or would the ford stabilizer be sufficient in your opinion? If you recommend upgrading, what would be your choice for the stock truck? Thanks
You don’t need to upgrade the stabilizer on a brand new stock truck.
Yeah if your truck is stock, just use the brand new factory stabilizer! The “death wobble” you saw on the forums was just due to a lack of caster from the factory. Should you have issues a set of caster shims is the easy answer, not a stabilizer. That said if you move up to 37s and plan to off road the truck, a better stabilizer is a great upgrade.
@@CJCOffRoad I greatly appreciate the feedback, thanks!
@@CJCOffRoad So the whole death wobble debate comes down to castor shims, mainly? If they are indeed needed, what shims would you recommend? Thanks again.
If it’s a brand new Super Duty then yes. Normally it’s due to worn front end parts, but the brand new Fords are coming with very little caster from the factory. IF it has death wobble a set of 2 degree shims usually does the trick, but VERY few trucks have that issue. It’s just a vocal minority online. If for whatever reason you need caster shims, here’s a link: www.cjcoffroad.com/Carli-Ford-Super-Duty-Caster-Correction-Shims-p/cs-castershim.htm
What's the big difference between high mount and low mount does it make much of a difference for weekend warrior
We made a whole video about that!

CJC Off Road, @5:14 What size wheels are those on the black Ford, and what offset would that be on the Method's? I'm looking for that exact setup for my 2019 F250 and can't figure out if it's a 17" wheel w/ 0 offset, or 18" wheel w/ -12 offset, or maybe a +18 offset. Thank you!
That truck is on a 4.5” Carli system with a -12 offset 18” wheel with 38” tires. To fit 37s on a Super Duty with a 2.5” system, we typically recommend around a 5” backspace number. O offset to +12 offset on a 8.5-9.5” wide wheel is ideal.
I’m running a stock 99 jeep XJ. Have had no issues. Just put on a new track bar and now I feel pulsing in my steering wheel as it returns to zero at low speed. What can that be?
Sounds like the track bar either isn't torqued enough, or there's play in the joints.
I have 22 f250 stock, it seems to just want wander or doesn’t want stay in the lane, is this my solution?
Our recommendation for that is to add some caster! Ford sends these trucks out very light on caster from the factory. Install these: www.cjcoffroad.com/products/carli-ford-super-duty-caster-correction-shims?_pos=1&_sid=a02784feb&_ss=r
I just put 255/80/17 Toyo mts on my 08 Dodge 3500 dually that has 185k miles on it. I got new ball joints and tie rod ends installed at the same time along with an alignment and now I'm experiencing my truck wondering left and right when driving over 50 mph. Any idea what could cause this?

@@CJCOffRoad awesome! Thanks for the reply and link. I watched it and have a better idea what to look for now. I was looking at new steering stabilizers but from my understanding that doesn't really effect slop and the wondering correct? I checked my OEM stabilizer this morning and it felt smooth, maybe a little easy to push in and out though.
Why yall don't carry chevy truck stabilizers
Curious..what if I have a Power Wagon and upgrade to larger tires?
The same information applies! Power Wagons will use the same steering parts as a normal Ram 2500.

I’ve got a 2022 ram 2500 with the Carli 2.5 and have started to get a slight right pull and minor wobble in the front end. I’ve got the fox steering stabilizer and everything seems tight but the problem is getting worse. Any suggestions?
Possible wheel bearings
@@mikeyschmidt20 with 20k miles on it?
It could also very well be the ball joints. Dodge is known to run into this issue even around 20k miles. Hopefully you can find the issue. That has to be frustrating
@@mikeyschmidt20 I appreciate the info. Thanks
