2001 3500 "Y" steering upgrade?

Posted
  • Staff

 I have an '01 3500 dually and am finding myself experiencing the occasional "death wobble" I have replaced the track bar. Need to get under there and check all the steering joints now along with the ball joints for play.

 If I need to replace several I would rather look into an upgrade. Been doing some reading online, apparently there was a factory option for heavy duty steering? Which was a T steering setup?

  If not, what would be a direct bolt on T setup? I don't really want to have to change the taper on the knuckles or do any mods if not required. Just curious what my options are. Thanks in advance.

So in essence you would have to have the track bar a straight piece of iron and the same angle as the drag link from the pitman arm to the right knuckle? 

Yes but no.

 

Same angle yes, how it gets there doesnt matter. It can still have the bend in it.

 

I run a straight track bar

 

This is my jeep and is set up correctly steers better than my dodge with 2008.5 steering
