I just installed Rovertym heavy duty tie rods w/ the steering stabilizer relocation kit. I cant seem to get the correct length for the steering stabilizer. It always seems to be short and inhibits my turning... I was wondering if someone knew the lenght of the stabilizer on a stock rover. or had an approximate length. Thanks as always |

13.5" with wheels pointed straight ahead. Body only, as if no 'pins'. 'Mount' c/c: 17.5", same criteria. 95 lwb-oem parts, no accident damage; tape measure in hand, laying underneath. what we do for our fellow brethern.... |

Why not just use a D-90 one?

Nick - are you using a D90 stabilizer or the Ford F350 one?
With the F350 one, you can easily slide the bracket back and forth on the drag link to achieve the best position. Turn wheel full lock one way end make sure the damper hasn't topped out and the other way to be certain it doesn't bottom out. Just leave the bracket loose until it all works. The D90 damper also has plenty of travel to achieve this (have had both on at different times)

Nick,
You can still use your stock length damper. But, you'll need to mount it on the inboard side of the chasis rail as opposed to the outboard side. I hope this makes sense! Even with a D90 damper, you'll still need to mount it on the inboard side. Otherwise, the left turns are a bit short! |

Wait a minute, I forgot to mention one thing. You can mount the D90 damper on the outboard side since you're clamping the other end on the front drag link somewhere. On mine, I'm using an older RRC tie rod end that has a goose neck (at the pitman arm) for the damper so I had to mount D90 damper on the inboard side. Hope this isn't too confusing! |
