I put the dampener on today. I have my suspension and front end very dialed in at least for the road, all heavy duty no play whatsoever. I didn't think it could be improved, my Jeep drove and handled like a sports car. The first second I drove my Jeep after the dampener was installed it was the icing on the cake. My steering is so smooooth and consistent throughout the range. A good stabilizer won’t fix anything but on a very dialed in suspension, it’s the nth degree of refinement. I’m glad I invested in King.

Impressive Improvement for RVs

The usual stabilizer application in compact cars and SUVs reduces the impact of the road into the steering system. A stabilizer can also reduce vibrations caused by worn out joints, tie rod ends, and bearings. Large, boxy vehicles like motorhomes with heavy engines have additional steering problems with heavy side winds and long rear overhangs behind the rear axle. My motorhome is 32 feet long and the overhang behind the rear axle is 11 feet. At 9 feet tall, the tail has a very large cross section that, in a cross wind of 30 MPH, equals a side force of over 400 pounds that attempts to turn (pivot) the front of the motorhome. Correcting such forces through the steering wheel is demanding on its own, but that's not all. Additional corrections must be made to deal with sudden wind interruptions when passing buildings, underpasses, and semi-trucks. I installed a pair of King 2.0 x 12" steering stabilizers with custom valving and mounted them against each other (opposed). Each shock absorber is pressurized, which makes it biased against compression. The opposed configuration compensates the bias, creating a center balanced setup the effectively self-centers the motorhome. I found the stabilizers to be a huge improvement. Driving between 60 to 70 MPH, road conditions, wind, and traffic disruptions feel much more controlled and sudden movements and erratic directional changes have become much easier to correct and dampened at the steering wheel. Overall, I would highly recommend these steering stabilizers to anyone and everyone with a motorhome, RV, or large truck.
