samurai steering stabilizer recommendation
« on: November 12, 2009, 06:43:20 PM »
I have an 88 samurai with 2" body lift and 30" tires  in the last few weeks I am getting some wheel wobble and I am thinking it is the stock stabilizer,any    recommendation on what stabilizer I should go with? Thanks Mike

I used an OME stabilizer for a few years until I went to power steering. I still have it. If you're interested PM me.

It is quite abit larger than stock and mounts like stock instead of a bracket on the pitman arm.

The Stabalizer might help hide the wobble but you will just be hiding the rear problem.  I would look at your tie rod first, see if your joints are worn.  You might also want to have the balance on your tires checked.

the front end is tight the samurai only has 36K original miles on it,the over sized tires only have 1k on them but will definitely check the balancing on them.
