With conventional steering stabilizers, turning in one direction creates an increase in pressure inside the stabilizer as the shaft occupies more volume in the body and displaces the oil. The repercussion is a push or pull steering force felt by the driver as the stabilizer attempts to return to its neutral state.
Key Features
- External Piggyback Reservoir: Increases oil capacity with Internal Floating Piston to separate fluid from nitrogen charge and prevent cavitation under heavy use.
- Bolt-On Installation with Bracket: Fits directly using factory mounts no modifications required single unit replaces stock damper.
- 2.0 Aluminum Body Construction: Race-proven durability handles extreme off-road demands with consistent performance over time.
- 24-Click Compression Adjuster: Allows precise tuning of damping force to match any truck setup driving condition or terrain preference.
- Adjustable Through Shaft (ATS) Design: Maintains fluid volume in both directions for smooth neutral steering without added dual stabilizers or hardware.
- High-flow valving provides immediate response.
