It's not the box my front is lifted around 6 inches on short arms and my caster hasn't been adjusted. I more or less just wanted to end an argument between me and my buddy who said to just get a dual damper. Im thinking long arms and a good alignment will fix the issues.

I would guess that duel coil over stabs would have to used, one mounted in each direction in order for the steering to feel the same in each direction. I still think it's a waste of money, just fix the real problem.

Agreed, just fix the broke stuff. Not sure the point of the coil.

yeah, that's the one i got. there's no hard feeling in the steering. it doesn't push or pull, it just feels smooth on every turn and maybe helps bring the big bias ply tires back to center.
i dunno, it helped me.

steering and front end parts arent the only thing that cause death wobble. TIRES have ALOT to do with death wobble. i have had tires that were perfectly balanced, but would death wobble. swapped front to back and death wobble gone......just food for thought. again this was with no stabilizer. some people want dampeners and some dont. personal preference. just because ford fixes death wobble with a stabilizer, doesnt make it right.


and caged, im sure your BIAS ply tires have something to do with your wobble.......


i am Hunter Alignment certified btw.
