steering stabilizer mount

Anybody have any clever way to mount a steering stabilizer, right now I just have the end brackets ubolted to the axle and tie-rod ... Id like to clean it up a bit and go to a fixed bracket at least on one end.

I was thinking of off the diff cover or spring perch

Is this one of those just put it where it fits?

I had mine attached to the frame and u-bolted to the drag link. After bashing two at $50 a pop from Baxters I said F that and havn't ran one since. I hardly noticed a difference.

But you said it, where ever it fits best should work for you.

I welded a piece of 1/4 inch steel to my axle with a hole in it, right where it goes into the diff, and attached to the drag link.

cheers-

Steering stabilzers are best replaced with Hydro assist..

I had one prior to the PS conversion... it didn't do much, but I had some other issues going on too

After the conversion to PS I didn't bother putting a stabilizer back on... and I have'nt really found a need for one since... I would have probably smashed it by now anyway
