Could a bad steering stabilizer cause a stiff steering wheel?
Thanks really helpful i have a 1995 4runner n wasnt too sure weather to change the shock or not 🙏👍
Glad it helped
making me nervous at about @1:06 when you're pulling on the damper end towards you with the end of the pry bar right in front of your eyes held by one of the hands you're pulling with. 😬
That's nothing...lol
Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
How long do they typically last? I’m doing a job for someone replacing all the arms, links & bushings & seen the truck had this stabilizer & didn’t know how to tell if it’s any good. Any specific brand that is good/bad? Thanks for the video!!! ✊🏿
If it is a stock truck you can replace it with a stock stabilizer. If it is a built Jeep or build truck you can go with a Moog or something more beefy.
@@HomeOwnerRepair Thanks, it’s stock but had Rancho shocks so I ordered the matching one.
Should it extend on its own like a normal shock?
Are you testing it to see if it is bad?
@@HomeOwnerRepair yes
@@GG-eg6kn if it's not a nitrogen charged shock it will not extend on its own.
Man I’ve changed control arms, wheel bearing bushing, wheel alignment/balanced. On a 2001 Infiniti qx4 2001 and steering wheel still shakes should this be something I look for
The front track bar too is many times the culprit.
So on the mount near the diff is that bottom nut welded? I can't get the top bolt to budge even with pb and an impact. Perks of living in PA I guess.
We're up here in New England it is not much better. Were you ever able to get your steering stabilizer swapped out?
❤if it's still there it must be welded. Otherwise he would take it off first.
is it supposed to have slight play when you grab and twist the stabilizer?
It shouldn't have really any play in it.
@@HomeOwnerRepair Thanks for the reply. I have the JL with the Xtreme Recon package. The dealer says it's normal to have a slight play on the steering stabilizer since it is attached to the tie rods. This is my first Jeep, so I'm not sure if the dealer is right or they have no idea what they're talking about?
Can a bad steering stabilizer cause my car to shake violently at highway speeds?
Yes
Or it might also be a bad track bar or worn suspension components.
@@john.t645 No, the steering stabilizer is not causing it, it is that the underlying issue finally killed the SS. If you replace it and not identify the underlying issue you will be back in the same situation.
AKA Death Wobble.
My chevy tahoe start with death wobble,around 60 mph 😮💨☹️😖🤯😡
Check the track bar and all of the steering components to see if any of them are worn out.
Go Pak the caw in havid yad
