You don't have to fight the wheel through wind and passing trucks. This stabilizer keeps your coach tracking straight and gives you more control to handle a blowout (if that happens), so you're not tired at the end of a long day of driving.
You've had tough experiences while driving your rig. You white-knuckled when a semi blasts past and nudged things back on course through heavy winds. It's exhausting. With this stabilizer in place, the coach tracks straight instead of wandering and it cuts down on those constant corrections you have to make. It makes a huge difference when you spend hours on the road. When you stop fighting the wheel, you won't be worn out when you finally park.
A front tire failure is a nightmare scenario everyone dreads because it happens fast and the wheel yanks hard. If you've been through it, you know how helpless it feels when the rig wants to pull out of the lane. That's probably when this stabilizer really matters the most. It helps hold the wheel steady so you can slow down and bring your coach under control. It won't stop a tire from failing, but it can keep that situation from turning into something worse.
This stabilizer bolts on with hand tools and includes the mounting hardware for your vehicle. Once it's mounted, it has to be centered and torqued properly to work. If you're comfortable with those adjustments, you can handle it with some extra time. If not, we can help you find a trusted installer to handle the job. Either way, you only have to do it once, and it stays put.

Hi, everybody. Andy here with etrailer. Let's take a quick look at the Safe T Plus Custom Fit Steering Stabilizer with mounting hardware kit. Now this has been designed to fit your 1991 to 2007 Freightliner FL series, the FL50 and FL60, both with the front leaf spring suspension. And on custom fit parts such as this kit I do recommend taking advantage of our vehicle fit guide here at etrailer. Pop in the year, make, and model of your vehicle and our fit guide will confirm if this will work for you or if we have something comparable that will work for you.
So this steering stabilizer is designed to make driving your vehicle feel more controlled, less stressful, especially on those longer trips. It's going to help keep your steering centered so you're not going to have to constantly correct your steering wheel when dealing with crosswinds, rough roads, or passing semi-trucks. Now one of the biggest safety benefits is going to be during a front tire blowout. So instead of your steering wheel pulling sharply, this stabilizer's going to help you maintain better control, giving you a better chance to safely guide your vehicle off the road. This is also going to help reduce driver fatigue because you're making fewer steering corrections throughout your trip.
So you're going to be able to relax your grip on your steering wheel and arrive at your destination feeling less worn out. Now in case you don't know, the steering stabilizer is one component of really a complete handling package that most motorhome owners will purchase. And that includes a front and rear anti-sway bar if it's available for your particular vehicle. Each is going to improve different aspects of handling of your vehicle. For instance, the anti-sway bars are going to help reduce body roll and improve the overall stability of your vehicle.
And as we've been mentioning, this steering stabilizer is going to help keep your steering more controlled and help reduce that wandering. It's going to minimize the effects of crosswinds and road imperfections. So together they're going to give you a more stable, confident and more comfortable driving experience as you're going down the road. Now the stabilizer is built for long-term reliability with a sealed hydraulic design. It's not going to require routine maintenance along with a durable protective finish to help stand up to the elements.
This is going to be a bolt-on installation so it's going to be relatively straightforward. It includes the hardware kit that you see here along with instructions that guides you through the installation process. You're not going to have to worry about drilling or welding or anything like that. However, if you would like some help with getting this installed, on this product page typically underneath the photo section, we have a link that will take you to our installer locator. Click that link, answer the questions that it has for you, and that locator will find an installer in your area that etrailer has partnered with to install this for you. If you want to take a look and see if there are sway bars available for your vehicle, again, go through our vehicle fit guide and it will point you in the right direction. Well, again, my name's Andy. Thank you for joining me.
