I have been driving my 06 Dodge 2500 4×4 since the day I drove it off the lot. It does have a leveling puck up front and had a full front end replacement done at about 90K miles. I really never had the “death wobble” or had a negative view of my steering (I am just use to it). There is no doubt that the steering had slop in it but nothing that really made me feel like it was dangerous or was difficult to deal with. Towing heavy travel trailer and now 162k miles of mostly Hwy use I noticed some nocking in my steering (clunk clunk when moving the wheel from side to side). Sure enough it’s the steering box and yes it’s time to replace it (pretty common for these solid axle trucks and it is no surprise). I figured I would go ahead a place this steering box gusset and just see what kind of difference it would make with steering box that has a little slop. I am not going to go crazy like some reviews but I will say. Wow! What a difference in the “steering wheel play”. Steering is more responsive for sure. If I could quantify it I would probably say 30% more responsive???? Yes the steering box definitely needs replacing and that will be next on the list (I know, should have done that first but I wanted to see how this product worked with an old steering box). What is even more impressive is the 40min it took me to install it and the quality of this product. Worth the extra money I would say over some of the other cheaper products on Amazon. Completely boxed steel vs just a piece of stamped angle which is what most, if not all of the cheaper products are. Spend the money and get this American made product. It’s Extremely well made!
Great product, bearing is serviceable if it wears out. Quick easy install, even with sway bar extensions from a lift kit. These trucks should have been manufactured with these to begin with
Fast shipping even though I’m in a small, northern bc community.Very easy,quick instal by myself. Took about an hour. All parts fit without any customizing at all.Only thing I didn’t like was the quality of the 4 bolts to mount to the sway bar link. Broke 1 and had to drill and easyout it out. I’ll go buy 4 grade 8 bolts and instal. Other than that, definitely recommend on a 2005 dodge 3500 diesel.
Installed this on my 2008 Cummins 2500. This thing is worth every penny and Dodge should have included these from the factory. My steering was borderline scary driving down the freeway. I talked to several people as was told that it’s just the way Dodge trucks are. I figured there had to be a fix since this general steering geometry and system has been used for used with multiple different manufacturers for years. Well, this is the fix! It took my steering from sketchy to driving like a new truck. I installed it by myself in about 45 minutes. Just have to lay on your back and use your knee to hold up the brace and the sway bar while you install the sway bar bolts. If your steering is bad on your Dodge, just buy it and see for yourself!
Easy installation fits perfectlyAdd new stabilizer and wondering is gone
