I have an O1 Sport Street Style. I would like to tighten up the steering a little. It is not bad just at speed I would like a little tighter feel.

Does anyone use a steering stabilizer on their street truck? Would it tighten up the steering or would it be a waist? Or do you even use a steering stabilizer w/ power steering?
 






I looked into that once. you have Rack and Pinion and you cannot use a steering stabilizer.
 






A steering stabilizer will have no effect on the "tightness" of the steering. I hate to say this, but you are more than likely going to have to live with the steering the way it is. You need to remember that you are driving a Truck and it isn't designed to handle or respond like a Car.
 






What taxxman2k and mrboyle said. There is a possibility that a steering component is loose. If you think so, have a shop look into it. Easiest way to help steering response on your EX is to buy low profile wheels and low profile steet tires. This can be very expensive. As mrboyle says, it will never be sporty or car-like.
