Steering Stabilizer

I was reading the post on road handling and I felt this topic needed a new thread.
Does anyone know of a stabilizer kit for the 4runner?? It sure would help smooth out those steering wheel jerks from small bumps.

Here's your problem

In regards to your stabilizer kit query, I find it unusual that someone of your mechanical prowess would even elicit help. Anyway.

Much like my previous throttle issue - which you chimed in with your sarcastic $0.02, I think the solution involves silicone spray.

Spray down your entire suspension - much like you would with a bicycle. That should smooth things out for ya.

First thing. insults aren't necessary in a 4runner forum. Your word choice leads me to believe that you're british, if you are, go f yourself.
Next thing. My query was not asking how to install a steering stabilizer, but rather, if anyone knew if a kit (shock, and mounting hardware) existed.

And your bit about my advice with the silicone spray. I learned about lubing cables from experience. A few years around salt water and dirt bikes will teach you a few things. Therefore I'm giving advice from experience hoping that I will help someone out. Instead I draw sarcasm.

Finally, you think that helping smooth steering wheel jerks from bumps involves silicone spray?? Good luck to ya...
Anywho
I searched and found a kit for 2G and earlier, but no 3rd or 4th gen 4runners.

The only reason I'm almost sure that 3rd gens don't have the steering stabilizer is I had some issues w/ my alignment and thought it may be the steering stabilizer. After asking questions about this on yotatech awhile ago, the answer came back that there is no steering stabilizer, rather we have rack and pinion on our 3rd gens. This is what I recall and it's been awhile but I hope this helps.

My issue ended up being an alignment one...

Yeah that's right, they don't have the stabilizer. I know about the rack and pinion as well. Let me elaborate, I was asking if there was a kit to add a stabilizer to the steering system. I know the rack and pinion system is very sensetive and the jerk of the wheel is extremely exaggerated when hitting rocks and bumps off road, at crawling speed and up..
