I ordered one on tuesday, its PSC Motorsports on eBay. When I called and asked if they took PayPal they just put one up on eBay for me. For some reason the 94-02 versions on the PSC website aren't there now so maybe they are short of them.

A few here have used them and say they are fine, I haven't received mine yet but I did like the price. My 97's front end all checked out tight except for the steering box and track bar. Hopefully the DSS and the Luke's Link I ordered will fix my problems, its not real loose but needs to be tighter.

I paid $209 for my DSS. That is cheap.

I have one on my truck from these guys. Fit wasn't as good as the one i put on my friends truck which was from DSS. I had to grind out the hole where the sector shafts goes down through cause it wasn't centered. The DSS bolted right up. Could have been a one in a million that just wasn't quite built right but works after it was worked over a little bit.

I've seen a few comments now about poor-fitting Darin's steering stabilizers that were bought for a fantastic price... wonder if someone is knocking off el cheapo copies of them?

I never heard of anything like that, just saw the price & figured I'd try to help someone on the site save a buck. Sorry if I'm steering you guys wrong.

Got mine yesterday, haven't seen any others but it appears well made and plenty stout. The hardware looks good and it came with color instructions. I'll be putting it on the truck Saturday and I will report back about the fit.

Mine came from Darin straight and has proven worth every single penny.

Glad we got one before they took it off their website! I see you went with the Luke's Link. The price is hard to beat.

Yes, I think they must be out of them at the moment as the only one's I see on their site are for Gen 3 trucks.

I installed the DSS and a Luke's Link on the trackbar today, no more road wander and the trucks steering feels much tighter. I think there is a slight bit of play in my steering column and the rod to the steering box, but I'm not sure I'll bother with it.

The DSS fit perfectly, I just left the sway bar bolts slightly loose then tapped the DSS until the sector shaft was perfectly in the center of the bearing mount hole. All parts were well made and finished nicely, its made from 2" square tubing and 1/4" steel. Highly reccomended!

If you don't have a DSS and PSC gets more in stock, do your self a favor and get one.

I'd stick to getting one from a good vendor or the originator of the DSS those might be knock offs and not worth it, an extra $30-40 is worth the piece of mind IMO

Some DSS sell for more like $80 above what PSC charges, and I can't see how they would be any better after installing mine. PSC was also first rate to deal with, competition is good for everyone in my book!
