Hey guys, So I know it's been a long while since I have been on and have really been out of the loop of things but I have a question. Do they make and is there a way to make steering stabalizers for IFS? The wheel is always kicking back over bad road a trails. Just wondering and if so where to get them. |

The wheel is always kicking back over bad road a trails. Just wondering and if so where to get them. I remember seeing a post like this a while back and in the past I was looking at the same thing for my '98 ford ranger wich had IFS also this is what I found in my research They do not make them for rack and pinion steering can you fab one I would think so but I also think that it would put a lot of stress on the rack and pinion. You would need to use 2 not just 1 like the wranglers wich would cause the R&P to work twice as hard. Are you lifted? I do not have any kick back in our KJ and it is at stock hight I am thinking that the angle that the tie rods are on when you lift the KJ is a problem that has gone unadressed for a while. I will be working with a fab shop on a fix for it ti level out the ball joint that should also fix the kick back |

You would need to use 2 not just 1 like the wranglers wich would cause the R&P to work twice as hard. Not quite. The stock power steering pump (as with nearly all 4x4's) can run a 10,000lb hydraulic winch. They can run in excess of 2000psi. Putting a small steering damper on wont do anything much, probably feel like your tires have gone down 5psi, thats all. |
