Clamp for Stabilizer
Hey, Y'all
Got a problem here and hope somebody can assist. I am installing a steering dampner, but ran into a small problem. One of the clamps that bolt to the radius rod is too small. These clamps are tie rod clamps. I've tried a few auto parts stores with no luck. My radius rods are made from 1" tubeing and I can not find a clamp that will work.
Can anybody help me and give me some idea where I could locate one?
Thanks, guys

Does your stabilized have a eye on one end and a straight threaded shaft on the other? If so you could use a piece of 2" angls and two 1" U bolts. You may try a 4X4 shop. This is a typical add on for off roaders.

Like sfort said, here's a picture of a "kit" from SkyJacker for a threaded shaft stabilizer.

You can make the angle brackets, or a 4x4 shop likely has piles of them laying around either new or used. My 4x4 guy has an extensive bone yard out back, and he welcomes browsing by his customers.Roger
Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
