steering stabilizer

Jeff,

Welcome.

Please give us enough information on what you drive so that we can make considered responses.

What chassis, coach, miles on it, etc.

There is no "silver bullet" that cures everything. Knowing what you have and what you want to improve will get you better answers.

I have had them on both diesel and gas coaches. What the stabilizer does, if adjusted properly, is help eliminate some of the strain on the driver on rough roads or during windy conditions. I prefer the steering stabilizer than can be adjusted from the driver's seat, like the Blue-Ox True Center. And yes, my diesel coach could get blown around in heavy cross winds, just like my gas coach. The adjustable steering stabilizer makes it more manageable and easier on the arms.

Maybe on a gasser, not so much with a DP. The DPs are on truck chassis and have big heavy duty power steering systems.

Very accurately put.
Ditto with me.

Welcome and do a search on CHF bolts and track bars before spending money on a steering bandaid.

Should also help in the event of a front tire blowout.
We have a BlueOx true center that is adjustable on the fly to help with wind and road crown.

I've driven diesels and gasser Class A's and haven't found the need for a steering stabilizer. Now, on the gassers, sway bars work great; usually one up front and two in the rear.
