How much help are steering stabilizers in preventing wobble? Are they worth the money in safety improvements? I'm thinking of putting one on my '25 TT. Ideas? PK
 
I think 30 to 35 with my TT. I haven't had it out on the highway yet, no signals or brake light. That will be one of this winters projects. Looking at next summer going camping and picture taking. PK
 
TT's don't have brake lights nor turn signals. No steering stabilizers either. No water pumps or thermostats. No distributors, no wheel brakes.

All this simplicity is what makes owning and driving our T's and TT's such a unique experience. Don't deprive yourself of it by trying to "improve" what can't be improved upon without destroying its essence.
 
You're right Brother. They didn't come that way. But it's not safe to drive on the highway with out them. We only have a mile or two of town road and the rest is 70 MPH state highway. A lot of people now don't even know what arm signals mean. Well they do know one, but that's not for turning.

Well Doug, every now and then when I hit a chuck hole I do get a wobble. Around here we have a series of chuck holes with a few inches of flat surface between. I do need to replace the king pins and bushings this winter. I just don't know if a stabelizer is needed. I have little experience with T's so far. PK
 
Kelly , Steering stabalizers are a band aid type fix ,they just cover up other problems . Fix the kingpins and tighten up the rest of the steering and see how it preforms. Bubby Sharp in KY
 
ok....now I am confused...My friend has a 22 TT with a ruxtell and worm drive...it only goes 17mph...how are you moving that fast? I am confused...
 
Well I'm not saying I go all that fast, what I'm asking about is eliminating front wheel wobble that happens now and again when I hit a chuck hole. I don't think I've been over 20 + mph at best. Remember, I spend most days on a tractor at 3-5 mph. 20 mph seems like risky business! PK
 
no worries.I was just curious.When mine is done i wish his would go a bit faster so we can travel together.but i know the tt is a whole different vehicle because of the inteded purpose.
