Does anyone know if those steering stabilizer kits that Chevy Duty sells do any good? Thanks, Steve

They do help some. I had one on a 56 I used to have & will probably put one on the 55 I,m working on now. smile


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.

If there's nothing worn out in the front end,you might try adding toe-in,adjust maybe half a turn at a time,test drive,see if it helps. Remember how much you adjust,or write it down,so if it makes it worse or doesn't help,you can set it back to where it was.If that doesn't help,it might be worth it to find an alignment shop that knows I-beam front ends and have it checked.It could need a wedge shim under the axle at each spring to change the kingpin rake.
