It has a rack and pinion.. I don't think there is any way to attach it.

I’m just curious as to why you feel like you need one?

 

 


I have used many of stabilizers..... but I see no value on one for this vehicle.

That being said...

What symptoms are you experiencing?
What modifications do you have on tires and suspension.

One common misconception that people have about steering stabilizers is that if your truck has a shimmy or experiences death wobble installing a steering stabilizer will fix it. This is completely false, installing a steering stabilizer will only help hide the issue. The only way to actually fix a shimmy or death wobble is to find and replace the suspension component that is causing the issue. Without one of these stabilizers, the vibrations from your steering components and the road would reverberate through the entire system. This vibration can cause various steering components like ball joints, tie rod ends, and your drag link to prematurely wear out.

Not gonna happen on a rack and pinion setup. 


It will work but there isn’t enough room if the truck is stock lift... needs to be lifted to fit.

Unless you drive a 2 door Jeep Wrangler JK these will do nothing but look cool and mask the true issue your having.

Yeah I had one of those and the stabilizer worked wonders.

Have some front end hop when hitting holes or bumps on turns.

Could be the Duratracs. Playing with tire pressures.

No shimmy or shake. Steers straight. Duratracs have softer sidewalls than the KO2's I'm used to.

I have a 2019 Silverado new design and it wobbles ugly on higher speeds when I hit a curve or pothole. It feels terrible. I installed 33 inch tires and put a leveling kit. Would a steering stabilizer fix the issue? I’m tempted to just put stock again :(

Anyone add a steering stabilizer to the AT4. 

I haven't seen anyone who has made stabilizers for the gm trucks. You'll have better luck changing out your front end components such as your upper control arms and tie rods. Cognito makes excellent aftermarket front end parts for the new gm trucks.

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
