Bilstein33-170794 Monotube Steering Damper, Front 46mm,Silver

My 2012 Ram 3500 has always wandered, especially on bumpy roads since I bought it new to me with 60k miles. Just assumed it was a solid axle truck and they wander. Put this stabilizer on and drives like a totally different rig. It's nice and relaxing to drive now. No more constant correcting the steering wheel. Super happy. Should have done it years ago.

OK, I'll be honest I wasn't sure what sort of effect this part would have on my 2008 4WD Dodge Ram 2500 with the Cummins. I just installed it, which was very easy to do, and took it for a spin. Very impressed by the stability of the steering now. The truck drives even more solidly than it did before. I'm very happy with this product and am excited for my Bilstein front and rear shocks to arrive soon.I'll also say that I don't give positive reviews for just anything on Amazon. My truck is well cared for and I am very strict with keeping service records and am otherwise very picky on what touches or goes on my baby (sorry I said it)... Several hours of research online and lots of "shop talk" with those wiser than I led me to try Bilstein... They now have a customer for life.Thanks Bilstein!

I drive a 2017 RAM 3500 DRW HO with the Aisin. This particular stabilizer states that it is not designed to fit my truck. I thought I would give it a try anyways since the measurements and the mounting points were nearly the same as stock. I measured the extended length and collapsed length of the stock stabilizer while it was still mounted on the truck and came to the conclusion that this would fit. It did. I did have to shim the end that attached to the Synergy stabilizer bracket though; it was a bit too wide. I didn't want to spend the money on the dual stabilizer kits, especially because I would have to buy another Synergy stabilizer mount bracket to make it work. I am running the Synergy Drag Link and Synergy Tie Rod on the RAM and knew I would need to buy another bracket to clamp on the drivers side if I wanted to upgrade to a dual set up. So the $245 Bilstein dual kit instantly become $345 instead.I had heard some reviews both on Amazon and other online sources stating the single Nitrogen charged stabilizer caused a left hand "push" on the steering wheel. I was also worried about this since the truck already does a good job trying to push the truck to the left as it was; I didn't want to make that any worse. I am happy to report that I DO NOT notice any more "radial pull" then before....I think. I have not put enough miles on the new stabilizer yet to know for sure. I am going to give it an update at about the 2k mile point and let you know if it has effected any steering pull. The placebo effect has to be overcome after time and miles. I installed it last night and drove it to work on my normal route with no noticeable "pulling" difference.I will say that the damping ability over the stock stabilizer with over 91k miles on the truck is far superior. The same road that used to make my steering "bump" or "dip" seems to be better now. There seems to not be as much oscillation of the steering wheel when driving over dips in the road or on roads with lots of small bumps. I will say the increased dampening ability was well worth the purchase. I will have to drive it a few more miles, on a few different surfaces to know for sure about any change in "steering pull." Thanks for reading.**UPDATE**I have been driving with the new steering stabilizer for about 2K miles now. It makes a quite a bit of difference. Large expansion joints or run bumps don't seem to make the truck drift or get "loose" like before. I also notice less fatigue after long trips. I am putting less input into the steering wheel all the time. I don't have to try as hard to keep the truck in the lane, it seems to find center or straight much easier now. I am very glad I made the purchase.

There was some kind of TSB or update for the 2008 RAM, and I think 2009... OEM had the tapered stud attached to the eye that goes through the drag link - not all 08's were like this. So I purchased this damper for a 2011, and with the help of a turned down stud, I was able to adapt to my old 08. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0049NJYJ2 (Monroe P01368) It fits the drag link perfect but the diameter of the stud on the shock side was too big. I turned down with a drill/bench grinder and it a few minutes it was then the perfect diameter. Stud was $20, and the damper was $87 - not too shabby.

Have had it on for about 2 months now with no issues, it was easy to install, takes about 5-10 minutes depending on how corroded your nuts and bolts are and really helps to tighten up the steering, I was having issues with death wobble and changing this eliminated that issue, not to say there isn’t other contributing factors but it solved it for me, would recommend giving it a shot if you have the wobble or front end shimmy

Super smooth turning and dampens those hits and dips well. It doesn’t feel like a shock strapped to the front and it works consistently no matter the direction you turn. It was a simple install and took little time. The only struggle was messing with the dust boot to make sure it didn’t bunch up when turning, so make sure you run yours lock to lock and check the boot. Just slide it back on the shock body if it’s bunching.1 year update: I have ran this on my RAM 2500 for a year now. The consistency and smoothness is still as good as the day I put it on. The only real problem I have had is it struggles to control and dampen larger bumps or hits. Hitting a pothole or train tracks hard can cause it to start steering you before it can catch up and dampen the rest of the hit. For the price and the fact that I have a solid axle truck, this problem is expected and I am still all for using this thing. If I was going to be on back roads more or doing harder off road, I would definitely switch to a more expensive dual system (as this stabilizer was most likely built for street applications).

Awesome product! I use Bilstein shocks on all my trucks never disappointed especially for the price. This was super easy to install. Two bolts and the nuts to remove and old one is out and put the new one in and bolt it down. Made my steering feel a lot more stiff and responsive.
