Tuff Country 65170 Single OEM Replacement Steering Stabilizer
Product Details
Description
The Tuff Country 65170 OEM Steering Stabilizer is a single, direct-replacement stabilizer designed for GM pickups and SUVs. If you’re running a lifted setup or larger tires, this stabilizer helps reduce steering shimmy and improves overall steering stability.
- Single OEM Steering Stabilizer: Replaces the factory unit on GM trucks and SUVs to dampen steering shimmy and smooth out steering feel.
- Designed for lifted / larger-tire setups: Helps stabilize the front end when tires are 33" or smaller, mitigating common steering effects on lifted vehicles.
- Mounting configuration: Mounts one end to the axle or frame and the other to the stock tie-rod for straightforward installation.
- Brand and model: Tuff Country SX5000 series; a dependable OEM-replacement option from a trusted off-road and suspension specialist.
- Dust boot option: Dust boots are available as an add-on to protect the rod end, while shock boots are not included.
- Included hardware: Comes with mounting bolts (as pictured), enabling a quick, bolt-on replacement.
- Vehicle fitment notes: Specifically suited for 1973–1991 GM full-size models, including Chevy Blazer 4WD, Suburban K1500/K2500 4WD, GMC Jimmy, and GMC Suburban variants; compatible with 4WD configurations and both half-ton and three-quarter-ton models.
This stabilizer delivers real-world benefits: steadier steering under rough-road conditions, more predictable response during cornering, and reduced wheel wobble when you’re navigating uneven pavement or off-road surfaces. The result is improved confidence behind the wheel, better control at highway speeds, and a steadier driving experience without altering ride height. Pairing this OEM-style stabilizer with proper alignment and tires up to 33" helps maintain steering precision and tire wear over time.
