i want to get a new one for my 93 4runner. just wondering if they are universal or do i have to get a special one. also, are they easy to install? thanks

 

Look in our Tech section here at YotaTech, there is a write-up in there on the OME one.

The OME is the best one out there, and requires no mods to your stock bracketry.

I have the Rancho one, and you must use new brackets.
I wish I knew about the OME one when I did mine.

 

I installed an OME earlier today. Got it for around $50 from Mike at Xtremeoffroad. My stock one was in surprisingly good condition when I took it off but still weaker than the OME. I'll pound some good potholes in the next few days and let you know what I think. If you get one don't bother removing your stock mount - just reuse the mounts.

 

I am also REALLY thinking about adding one to my yota and have one question.

If you warp a front brake rotor, during braking with the stock steering stabilizer you will notice the steering wheel shaking - will that be present at detectable levels with something like the OME?

I would say yes. It may control some of the vibration but since the vibration is being transmitted through the front suspension and braking components there is no way to completely get rid of it without a new rotor.

 

ok cool! I like to know when things are just starting to go bad up front early. But I think Im going to order the OME now.

Victor...Do you have a link to Xtreme Offroad? I've been wanting to replace the Rauncho steering stabilizer I put on about 5 years ago.

Mike is in there.

 

The OME rocks. Wait til you see how much larger it is than stock. I was wondering how the heck it would fit - but it does. Joey did a great write up on it. I wish he and I didn't do ours the same weekend, so I could have used his write up.

 

ok i may be the dumbest guy i nthe world here , i installed my rancho steering stablizer , and followed the directions that came with it , but i never did remove the stock one , am i suppoed too ?

I went for a drive last night over to my brother's house. There definately was less vibrations in the steering wheel and more importantly I didn't feel any big vibrations when I hit pot holes. You can contact Mike at sales@xtremeoff-road.com

 

Ari...
Yes, the stock one is supposed to come off. You may get some interference between the stock and the Rauncho at full extension/compression. Just don't throw the bolts & nuts away. You may want to go back to a stock type mount like the OME.

 

I just asked for a price quote and will order mine today...
Will this help cure cross wind wander?

 

I doubt it. Usually that is help by a stiffer suspension and better shocks.

 

I installed the rancho one a while ago and I didn't remove the stock one. It seems fine to me.

I also noticed an improvement in cross winds.

Steve

 

Good shocks will improve your wind-wander better than a steering stabilizer can.

 

i dontthink i would trust the rancho steering stab , w/o the stock one , and it feels good to me the way it is set up now , i might try and call rancho tomorrow to get more info .
