Hello All, Just wondering from those who use this product. I notice my truck is starting to "wander" more then she use to and I am looking to fix if possible. Does it help with the wander? Also, does it tighten up the "freeplay" in the steering wheel? Hard to install? I know, too many questions...any feedback always appreciated. Thanks

DTT Trackbar?? Do they have one?

Perhaps you refer to DSS (Darrins Steering Stabilizer...or DTB...(Darrins Track Bar).

If so, I run both. Hard to say which makes bigger difference. Both are great. I would start with DSS and see how it feels. Recommend it highly!

Install not bad for reasonable mechanical ability...see steps here.....

Yes, youre right it is the DSS, not DTT...I need more coffee this morning, the little one had me up half the night..Thanks.

I installed DSS at 35,000 miles as preventative Mx. Wanted to prevent what was guarantteed, IMO, to be problem in the future, based on Dodges design...and all the reports here.. Did not expect to feel much difference due to my relatively low mileage. Was amazed how much better my truck tracked down the road.
Eliminated "freeplay" I didn't even realize I had!

I completely agree with everything rjohnson said. My Wife could feel the difference in the truck from the passengers seat.

Are you talking about the bracket that allows you to use a 3rd Gen. trackbar in a 2nd Gen.? If so, I did that. Made a fairly big difference even though my stock bar wasn't showing much slop.

I think he is referring to this





Yes, worth every penny.
Moreso if you have a lot of miles on that poor steering box.
I put mine in with about 30K, not a lot of miles, but could still feel the difference right off the bat.

Thanks Phox, That would be what I am "trying" to describe (looooooong night), Thank You
I've got about 100k on the truck and the "wander" is getting worse than before (strange thing is, it seemed to get worse after I put new shocks on, gotta be coincedence) Anyway, sounds like this will help, my front-end is in decent shape still.

where can you get this?
How much is it?

P.O.R.

here is a link with all the info....and my feed back is i have both products and highly recommend them, the truck drives 10 times better than with out...

The DSS is a good investment even if you don't have wander as it will keep your steering box and even frame from destructing.

So you guys replacing the track bar also? I see someone has an adjustable track bar to go with the relocation kit....or are you just gettting a 03 and up stock track bar and puttin it in? Ive got 145k on my 99 and its all over the road...took it in and my track bar is not shot but its close the guy told me...thanks for any info.....

Adjustable T.B. is for trucks with lift.
03 T.B. is for stock height on 4x4 and works very well...requires Solidsteel.biz bracket. Also, may want to check out Thuren Track Bars. Newer option... Heard good things and is less expensive!
I can only recommend what I've tried...the 03 T.B. as excellent!

I just got my DT track bar in. It's a beastly looking thing. I can't wait to install it this weekend.

I've got a 2" leveling kit in...so do i need an adjustable TB or just go with the bracket and an 03 and up TB???? thanks
