1996 Ford Bronco Rough Country Steering Stabilizer Install
A Rough Country single steering stabilizer was installed on a 1996 Ford Bronco, with a bracket on the axle housing and a tie rod bracket held by U-bolts. The owner reports the finished install takes the play out of the steering wheel and greatly reduces bumpsteer.
-
Step 1
Pre-assemble the Rough Country single steering stabilizer before mounting it. The kit also includes 2 bolts for F2 and F350s and bigger U-bolts for bigger trucks, which are not used here.
-
Step 2
Attach the bracket up front and slide it back, because the inner fender sits in front of the top bolt. Slide the bracket rearward to the correct location behind the metal stud.
-
Step 3
Extend the shock absorber 4.5 inches, then attach the tie rod bracket and the U-bolts.
-
Step 4
Rotate the bracket into a position where it will not bind, then tighten everything up. Keep the bolts parallel to the ground while tightening them.
-
Step 5
Check the finished install, and add the included sticker if desired, which the owner did for the cool factor. The owner cut the wheel all the way left and right and reports the stabilizer did not bottom out or over extend and showed no binding issues.
