Nice job. Good to know somebodies willing to step outside the box. Thanks for letting us all know about this. For the price might as well do it.

Wow, I never thought of that Ian. It took me 3 sentences to realize that you were for real. Thanks for the idea. :thumbsup:

I put one on my '93 L about 6 months ago . It cured the dreaded death shake common to early L's. I never thought to try it on my '01 however. Thanks for the great idea!

you are all very welcome, I am very happy with this simple mod, as it has increased the drivability of the truck, which is always one of my mission creeps.....

I think this stabilizer will also extend the life of the steering box and other steering system components as well by reducing the shock to the gears in the box and the other joints in the linkages.

In now way does this make the truck feel like it has a rack and pinion but it just smooths the whole feel out nicley, bumps are less noticable and the slight vibrations I would feel in the wheel from the brakes and/or wheel/tire balance are reduced quite a bit as well.

Very Lincoln towncar-ish now.

you would hit the tranny cooler lines, and center steering link before touching the stabilizer...it is really out of the way nicely....

Damm those pulley bolts got rusty, I just put that damm thing on 3 months ago.....FYI I have a 2# lower.....no gay jokes....

Think you win Mod of the Month with this one!!
Good job. When I put my winter tires on I've noticed just how much easier the steering is (thinner vs wide tires) so this will really help.

There are so many reasons to make gay jokes of you, other than your smallish pulley... :-D
