Tax return time, I want to fix the play/slop in the steering of my 99. Mine is not too bad, compared to other 2nd gens. I just want the play to be gone so I will drive like a 3rd gen (hopefully) I have drove, everything in my front end is tight, I plan on ordering a DSS steering stabilizer for sure, I am thinking about also getting the Rock Solid bushing. Anything else out there I shoud also get? I done really want to shell out $400+ for the trackbar conversion.

Also, my truck is an auto, I have heard horror stories about the rock solid bushing installation on the autos, any insight? Also, is there any way to replace the bushing in the gearbox that goes bad?

 

I just installed the Rock solid bushing last night....it really makes the steering feel alot better. I would compare it to the feeling of a Chrysler Sebring. You really feel like you are in control of the truck instead of a sloppy, loose steering wheel throwing you all over the road. The DSS is by far the best steering mod you can get for your rig....I love mine!

 

Any tips or concerns when installing on an auto? I have heard of the bushing being a bit tight...

 

I have a manual trans. The instructions are in detail with pics....it was a bummer to seat all the way in, but worth my time after it was done. I installed it with the column in place & was only in the garage 1 hour.
