    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.
