Question about steering stabilizer
I upgraded to 31x10.5x15 tires (had the stock 28's) now it seems my stock stabilizer does not return the wheels to center after turning a corner. Can anyone reccommend a decent stabilizer to remedy this?
Thanks, Rick

The steering stabilizer isn't responsible for returning the steering wheels to center. That is dependent on several things including proper toe-in, caster angle (unlikely to be bad) and making sure the air pressure is proper and that the tires are evenly inflated on both sides.

Thanks for the replies Jerry and mrblaine. The tires are well balanced (I watched em do it) the pressure is good, and they did an allignment when done. I'll have them dial it in per mrblaine's suggestion. What a difference from stock though... my TJ wants to wander all over the place with the 31s. Have to do constant corrections. At first I thought it was because they were bigger, way heavier, and possibly the more aggressive tread.
They are Yokohama Geolander Plus lls...might that have something to do with it... Rick

Some tires just don't track straight ahead as well as other tires do though. So once you get your toe-in checked/adjusted, they still may not track as well as what you are used to.
