ok, the stabilizer bar on the front axle is very loose, i can move it back and forth about 1/2 inch or better, the steering shock also moves with it, so both seem like the bolt holes are worn out pretty bad. so does anyone know of good aftermarkets for either and or both of them??
i have a rancho 5000 on it now i think it is. but it may be ok, i ain't sure i'll have to go back out and check
thanks

(sorry for so many posts. seems like this month has been really bad. just little stuff on the truck goin bad all at once it ain't fun)
i'll have a new truck when its all over with


would it cause the truck to wander pretty badly?

 

it wont cause it to wonder.
its just a dampner.

Mine is blown out leaking oil everywhere, still rides like a champ
I am going to replace it just because its cheap.

It is basically there for dampning those huge bumps from the steering wheel.
plus it makes it a little stiffer to turn, therefore holding a straight line easier with no hands on the wheel.

 

well, i'm talkin about the bar itself, will it cause the wander?

 

If the Track Bar is loose it will be all over the road. I put a DSS Steering Stabilizer and a Solid Steel 3rd gen track bar on and it drives better than new.

 

Yes, the trackbar being worn out would make your truck wander alot. I replaced my stabilizer shock recently with a Rancho brand shock. Yesterday i replaced the track bar with a Moog track bar. Hopefully it'll be better than the stock, it is a heck of a lot beefier and bigger looking than the stock on that came off my truck.
