Guys, I got my steering stabilizer off (stupid me decided to do it on my lunch break). Now that it's off, I can't put it back on, because I beat the crap out of the bolt that holds it in. Then I realized that the new stabilizer did not come with new rubber grommets for the eyelets. I can't get the old ones out of the OEM stabilizer either. Can I drive my truck with no steering stabilizer??? WTF???

 

Calm down relax..........better ? the answer is yes you can drive with it off , no harm no foul you mite not even notice its not there.. now you can take your time and do what you need to do to fix it..

 

Thanks man. That really irks me that they did not include new grommets for the stabilizer. Can I get some somewhere local, you think? I don't really want to call Jegs and them have to send me some.

 

call around the local parts stor or try your 4x4 shop

 

That sux, I purchased the Rancho 5000 steering stabilizer and it came with everything.......it even had the new tapered double ended bolt that goes into the tie-rod

 

not to try and jack this thread or nothin but could i take my sway bar off until i can patch it up mine is rusted completely thru and the guy who owned the truck before me just told me that he got it stuck and they tied the ****** strap to the sway bar to pull it out and that mixed with the rust thats on there yanked my **** right out

 

You can put be careful when you turn. Slow way down.

 

I called Autozone and NAPA...neither one had the bushings. I ended up calling Jegs and they said they'd mail me some out today. More waiting...[:@]

 

just posted a " jegs for laughs" post on the thread about the plenum gasket... they sent me the valve covers I wanted.. but sent me SB valve cover gaskets..( 5 bolt ) called to get a return going and was told they dont stock gaskets for them for the magnum 360.. guy on the phone said.. "imagine that.."

 

Yeah, that ticked me off... It's my first order from them, and I am not pleased. As the old saying goes: Screw me once, shame on you. Screw me twice, shame on me. Well, they may not get a chance to screw me twice.[8D] Next time I may try Summit. When you do something every freakin' day, you should get it right the first time, IMO. Ah well, at least they were all over sending me some bushings with no trouble.
