Are "MONROE" steering stabilizers and good for our trucks/runners?

duel · 08-04-2008, 07:39 PM

Just purchased/and installed a new steering stabilizer (by "Monroe") for my rig:
I paid about 30 bucks for it new from a reputable discount parts...beats factory $100 US and factory looks kinda skinny too.

What are your guys thoughts? and do any of you use MONROE steering stabilizers?

ps-my steering does feel nice & sturdy now...

looks like you need to rebuild the knuckles.

yeah, the grease is all over the place but at least its an original clean slate to work on. Hopefully, i can research how to do it and source a good kit. Have you ever used Monroe stuff before?

-Thanks

i have monroe shocks they seem to do ok but they are stiff. at least they seem to be holding up to my crappy road.

i described the knuckle rebuild kit i used in my axle thread. i would definetly recomend it.
