Will this kit help with steering wheel shimmy?

Yes, this steering damper kit is designed to dampen out the shimmy that can come from running larger tires and wheels, making steering more stable.

What is included in the Skyjacker steering damper kit?

About this part

Product Details

If you've put larger tires on your 1998-2002 Dodge Ram 2500, you might notice some extra wobble or harshness when you hit bumps. This steering damper kit from Skyjacker is designed to help smooth that out. It acts like a shock absorber for your steering system, absorbing those jolts before they reach your hands.

This kit replaces the stock steering stabilizer, which can get worn out over time, especially with the added stress of bigger tires. By dampening out the shimmy and harshness, it makes it easier to keep the truck pointed straight and reduces the physical effort needed to steer. It's a well-made upgrade that can make a noticeable difference in how your truck handles on the road, and it's a pretty inexpensive way to improve your driving experience.
