Steering Stabilizer?

[4by4th]

Does anybody know of an aftermarket steering stabilizer for a 4th gen 4Runner, 4WD with no lift?

My F150 has one, my Nissan P/U had one, both 4WD with independent front suspensions, and my 4WD Cherokee had one. The 4Runner feels like it needs one. Or is there something else in the stock setup that's supposed to accomplish the same thing?

Maybe wishful thinking that Rancho or somebody had already figured that out.

Why do you think you need one?

Don't see how a steering stabilizer will help you on an IFS setup with a Rack & Pinion... What is your Caster set at? I see you're running 33's

I know that they aren't used nearly as much as they used to be with power steering being completely ubiquitous now. One of the major benefits was that if you hit a rock or big pot hole the steering wheel wouldn't take your arm off or break your thumb, or slam your elbow into the door frame with a stabilizer on like it would without one. But the power steering system cushions that impact and is no longer a big concern, the steering mechanism absorbs it pretty well.

However there is the other thing that they did which was that they kept your wheels running straight when you hit that rock or pothole or rut so the car didn't veer off to he side and insta-roll or go off road/trail. Also maybe helped stress on the linkages etc from offroading hard.

The Toyota stabilizers seem to be all for the first/second gen runners and hilux (80-95) Maybe current PS systems work well enough that they are not nearly as important now? Dunno. They were popular for sure when I was a much younger offroader
