Smooth Out Your Straight Axle Hot Rod's Steering with Our Simple Bolt On Solution

If you’re wary of driving your hot rod because of wobbles, bump steer, and all of the vibrations of the road rattling through your steering system and into your arms, a steering stabilizer is just what you need. In the same way that a shock absorber helps to limit excessive spring oscillation, a steering stabilizer eliminates vibrations transferred through the steering system, stifles wobble, reduces bump steer effects, decreases wear on tie rod ends, and dampens the shock effects of hitting a pothole. Don't let the potholes win. It's time to restore confidence in your ride, enjoy more shows and Sunday cruises, more double-takes, and even (why not?) more errands!

Our hot rod steering stabilizer features a universal design for lightweight street rods and hot rods with straight axle Hairpin / 4-Bar front suspension and manual steering. The steering stabilizer shock is easily adapted to both traditional (push/pull) and cross-steer (Vega box) steering systems. With a small amount of fabrication, those of you with split-wishbone suspension can also enjoy the benefits of this hot rod steering stabilizer (drilling and tapping a hole). The high gloss chrome finish compliments any suspension, but we do offer a black steering stabilizer if you're looking for a more subtle appearance.

If it wasn't already too-good-to-be-true, here's an added bonus: this steering stabilizer shock is simple to install. The steering stabilizer shock has a 6 inch stroke, and when installed, should be at the center of its stroke with the wheels straight ahead. This ensures full turning radius in both directions. Each end of the steering stabilizer has a clamp that fits over 7/8-inch OD tubing; one end fastens to a bar that moves with the steering ( such as a tie rod or drag link), while the other end attaches to a suspension link that does not move with the steering (like a tubular radius rod). Once both of these ends are attached, your steering has been successfully stabilized!

Overall Assessment

Customers appreciate the product for its high-quality construction and effective performance in eliminating steering shake. Its easy installation, immediate improvement in handling, and impact on stabilizing the front end are notable features. Customers highlight its solution to the 'death wobble' issue, making it highly recommendable compared to competitors. Negative remarks involve removable branding stickers damaging the chrome finish, and difficulties in tightening. Despite these minor issues, customers would buy again.

Speedways customer service

I have noticed over the last year the customer service has gone down hill. They do not have the same focus on the customer as they have in the past. A lot of mis information and overpromising and underdelivering. Very disappointed with them.
