I need help

[bowhunterchris]

I am replacing all the shocks on my 03 GMC Sierra z71 SLE ext. cab. I was looking into steering stabalizers and was wondering if anyone has installed any on your vehicle. I have noticed that the wheels "wobble" when i hit a pot hole or bump and think this will fix that problem. Im going with Bilstien shocks all around and possibly Rancho stabalizers. One question I had was, do you need two? I think I have seen trucks with only one but im not sure. Any help will be greatly appreciated, Thanks!!

 

Note:front end was rebuilt less than 25k miles ago. Just wondering if anybody has installed them, how they work, how hard the installation was, thats all.

You sure that wobbile isn't from the ball joins or wheel bearings? I've watched enough episodes of "wheeler dealers" to know that's what it sounds like. hahah Seriouly check.

Has a rebuilt front end. Less than 25,000 miles ago. I know thats not the culprit. It did it before and after the rebuild.

They may help some. They won't make too much of a difference unless you're running pretty big tires.

I am really just wondering if anybody has done it and how diffficult the install was. I watched a video of a install on a Ford but the front end on the ford and my front end are very different. Lol.

Any help would be appreciated. Is it worth the time and money? Is it difficult? I found the kit to just do one I'm just needing a little help deciding. Has anyone done it?

Granted this is on my 91 Suburban but took less than an hour to install and made no difference what so ever. Also remember this went on a solid front axle vehicle. 9 times out 10 steering stabilizers hide other problems.

What does your front end rebuild include?

[bowhunterchris]

Hubs. Ball joints. A bunch of other stuff but I didn't do it so not 100% sure of everything. I'm leaning more towards not getting it.

So all of the steering linkage was replaced as well?

The stabilizer would not be a fix, merely a band-aid. Find out what the real problem is and get that fixed.
