: Steering Stabalizer with a RockRam ?

I've not been running one since the RockRam was installed, but after getting a new trackbar fabbed (thanks Brad) and getting it alligned on good equipment, Hector doesn't handle quite as good as before.

This time I got zero toe and the caster increased from 4*+VE to 5* +VE.

Could the toe and caster settings be the problem or should I run a steering stabilizer ?

I have the RockRam mounted to the pitman arm like Currie's Fire Ant, so there's very little damping going on at all.

If so, can I use two sets of u-bolt brackets or should I mount one end to either the diff or the axle ?

Cheers

I have a Rock Ram on my F350 mounted to the tierod and diff cover and all shake and shimmy has totally disappeared. It used to feed back into the steering wheel and also to the drivetrain (trans lever) a bit.

Rockram should be mounted to the TIEROD and axle housing!!! All shake and shimmy will then disappear.

BTW, What's CADY MODE?

well you should have some toe in, without any the vehicle will tend to wonder and have more "turn in" .
