    I'm having problems with my steering. While driving down the road when I get up to about 55 and up the front starts shaking. I put a pitman arm on my truck thinking that that would fix the problem but it didn't. Now I have been told that my front stabalizer shock is whats giving me the problem. So is there anyway anybody can verify this for me before I go spending money that I dont have to. Thanks in advance

    if your toya is 4wd u can find diffrent stabalizers. auto shops know them by steering damper; is the one that hooks to the front of frame to the center link.

    but if u have a 2wd the steering damper has a ball joint. the only place u can buy it is in toyota dealer for like 140, and i got a good one from junkyard for 20 buks. by the way check tie rods and center link, i canged it

    Don't forget to make sure you don't have a belt gone in a tire.

    Easy way to check your tires is rotate the front to the back.
    If the vib changes, its a tire.
