    Steering Stabilizer Different Than Current One Even When Said To Be Exact Fit/ Bolt Doesn't Fit Through Tie Rod

    Yes I am going to try the double nut method and see if I can pry them out. The old studs are a match to the new studs as far as size, the old and new nuts fit on both old and new threads. What I am trying to say is the new hardware has the same size nuts. I just need the old studs to make it...

    Steering Stabilizer Different Than Current One Even When Said To Be Exact Fit/ Bolt Doesn't Fit Through Tie Rod

    Trust me I tried both ways. I will try again tomorrow just to triple check but either way the threads do not go far enough through the tie rod. It's like they didn't make the threads go down far enough.

    Steering Stabilizer Different Than Current One Even When Said To Be Exact Fit/ Bolt Doesn't Fit Through Tie Rod

    Yes. That is what the diagram shows from the box. Threads on both sides. Neither side is long enough for threads to breach the other side of the tie rod and secure a nut to it. I will have to post more pics tomorrow.

    @bucket , @animal , @HotRodPC My last post is under review before being seen by members. Did I do something wrong? Talking about a specific brand too much? Please advise. -Sam

    The stud for the tie rod end does not have long enough threads to go through the tie rod. Old VS New

    Steering Stabilizer Different Than Current One Even When Said To Be Exact Fit/ Bolt Doesn't Fit Through Tie Rod

    I was racking my brain about how to get the bolts out of the old unit. Vice grip and hammer? There is a nut on both sides the same size the new one comes with but I don't see if they are attached or not.

    Was in the process of replacing the steering stabilizer(dampener). The old one came off fairly easily and was loose as a Goose so I was very excited to be replacing with a new one that was toight like a toiger. Then realized these are different bolts and different stabilizers completely. I...

    Awesome. No slamming necessary. Rallies and a 3/4 sound excellent.

    Excellent score! Beautiful. I would be torn between keeping it OG or modifying. Such a clean slate/canvas.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Was looking around under the truck to verify that I have a 700R4 trans. and doing a little clean up of the typical slight oil leakage. Also wanted to see If I could ID my rear axle and find transfer case tags. Everything is a little too gunky so I decided I would clean things up a bit. Picked up...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    So, as stated previously... I made a catch up day with the truck come to life(amongst other necessary chores, errands, etc). Washed it, stared at it, topped off the coolant reservoir, got the wife to help out for the photo rally pic, drove it to a few places, checked the oil - looking good...

    @PeteJr Jim, what is your trucks drop stance? That is perfect. Call me an old soul but I would never want a slammed stance but just right.
