Hi all
Now after 2.5 inch lift installed getting some little shimmy after 80mph (running on stock 17in tyres and offset KMC rims)
Decided to look for f150 steering dampers modification for 4gen X.
Ordered damper kit Fabtech fts8009 (yea i know about fabtech low quality reviews-but i will handle it...)from Carid.
Looks like ill need do produce,weld or modify fabtech chassis mount bracket(Explorer Gen 4 steering rack mount dont have any holes or extra mounts like F150 has).i am planning to use extra thread on front lower control arm M20 bushing bolt for this issue so...
The main idea is to install chassis damper bracket between front lower control arm washer and his M20 nut (cause of extra threads).
Also looks like tie rod fabtech mount needs to be cutted a bit.
Any suggestions guys?
I will post here all of the modification process info after damper kit will arrive.
