Default Quick steering Stabilizer question

ok i know my steering stabilizer is shot, cuz theres no resistance in it at all, and its original with a chewed up bushing......

1st question.....i need a puller to get it off right? or can i bang it out?

2nd question.....does it require an alignment afterwards?

I didn't use a puller to get mine off. As far as the alignment that is up to you but is always a good idea.

Don't need a puller. Just hit the bolts they will come out. No alignment needed. It has no adjustment to it. replace and go. If it's shot to where you had some steering shake when hitting a bump. then i'd get truck aligned.
