Steering Questions: Idler arms, stabalizers, etc.
« on: October 29, 2004, 02:54:13 PM »
Is the extra steering stuff really needed when you have armstrong steering? I remember reading somewhere that you're more likely to break an idler with power steering... is this true? Would it be worthwhile looking into beefing it up with manual steering? What about the steering stabilizer? Would it make it a bitch to turn the wheels with manual steering like it does on a SFA? Is it a worthwhile mod?

I would atleast go with the Skys Idler arm

The stock one tends to be a week spot in the steering area. Heres the article you can read all about it ;D

But If I was you, I'd start looking into P/S

I dunno, I really have absolutely no problem with no PS. Even with the 33x13.50 swampers. ;D

I was just wondering if anyone has had problems with the idler arm with manual steering or if it's done more often in PS vehicles? ???

Also, where is it that the idler arm bends/breaks?


And does anyone have pics of broken idlers?

Armstrong steering,   4 broken pre-stabilizer and 1 since.  However I've also a lock rite in the front that helps keep things bound up.
