Help!!

I installed the pro comp es2000 stabilizer on my 1989 toyota 4runner. It is stock height but it has 31x10.5 r15 tires. I can turn all the way to the right but when i try to turn to the left i can't turn as much. Any ideas why this is? Any suggestions on how to fix it?

hahaha

that makes two of us... Is there something i need to adjust? or it just bolts on? I asked the 4wheelparts people and they said i didn't need anything else for the install. But i did not ask if i needed to adjust it or align it in some way?

Are you sure you've got the right stabilizer.

I replaced mine and can't for the life of me think what your problem could be.

That happened on my 90 when I got one from FWP. I was sold the wrong one... Take it back and make them get you the correct one!

Yep I'd have to agree with nmtoy; you got the wrong one. It doesn't matter how the wheels are aligned when you replace the stabilizer, it's a simple put it on type part. If it isn't allowing full range of steering it's got to be the wrong part # - unless you unbolted something else in the steering linkage & moved tires or steering wheel etc. If all you did was unbolt the old stabilizer & bolt on the new one it's the wrong part.
