Default BD-Power Steering Stabilizer

I got a 98 dodge ram and i have always had a lot of wobble and steering wander, and i seen on extreame diesel that BD power has a dodge steering stabilizer. So i was just wondering if any of you guys have purchased this and if it helped at all?

My 01 was doing the same. I replaced the Ball Joints, Rebuilt the Track Bar and had the Steering Stablizer. It fixed 99% of my steering issues.

@ztk7220 i put on the 08+steering assembly and a carli suspension high mount steering stab and it will correct the pull to the right and it helped with the wobble but i still have it, i have a adjustable track bar that i havent put it on yet because i need bushings with a 5/8 hole and mine have a 1/2 inch hole and im still gona put a dual steering stab on it to so that way i will have a triple stabilizer setup i also want to do the steering box brace as well and hopefully this will correct it...any suggestions or tips are greatly appreciated...

I just had one installed last Monday, and it made a helluva difference on mine; less slop, LOT less wobble on expansion joints and the like.
It was just the latest step in upgrading the entire front end.
I've now done the steering upgrade (from Source,) Bilstein stabilizer, new suspension (KORE HP,) track bar bushing upgrade, MAXXlinks sway bar links. Next is upper and lower ball joints, as I'm at 82K miles with the stock ball joints.
Put the new tire/wheel combo on this August, and it's bringing the stock deficiencies to light pretty quickly.
