Hey,

Have B350 4x4 VAN with a steering glitch. Hunting answers.

1. As driving and holding the steering wheel still, the car moves left to right on the road, like when your bicycle steering is loose. Tires want to go one way and the steering another. Can this be the steering stablizer/damper that is the problem, servo issue or other?
2. What frame where these B350s built on, because it don't seem to be Dodge? Can't really find parts.
3. Where do I find a steering stabilizer to it? What vehicle brand if the frame is not Dodge?


Here's a pic of the car.

...and here's the steering stablizer.

 

Steering stabilizer is a band fix for a variety of problems. Sloppy steering being one of 'em..... That, and some tires just LOVE to follow whatever grooves are in the road.....

Check your steering linkages for slop, also ball joints Steering boxes are generally bad after some years as well.

 

Thanks for info, I'll see what I can find out more.

Cheers

 

1. Could be a worn steering gear box, especially since it is a 4x4 with larger tires.
2. The van was built by Dodge, then sent out to a private company for the 4x4 modification. No idea who that company is or was, and there's no guarantee they're still in business.
3. Since the stabilizer is not a factory part, it is unlikely you will find it in any parts manual. Your best chance is to find a part number on the existing one. Your second best chance is to match it by it's dimensions.
