maybe its your gear box.. or trac bar ends because if your steering wheel isnt moving and your tires are thats reall scary... i do know that when they put the new trac bar in the wheels felt tighter to the steering wheel

Well I meant that my steering wheel wasn't moving a lot when wandering. I can feel it but it isn't drastic. That is a serious pull for it to do that from the other side of the road. Maybe your toe setting is wrong.

It doesn't make sense to me why they would valve the stabilizers differently. I may make a call to the mfg tomorrow and see what they say.

well yes they would valve them the same but if one is stronger than the other by the littlest bit i could cause to push to one side more.... this is just what the shop told me but after thinking about it i could see what they mean.. honestly i dont think they should be valved at all they should be more like an absorber not a shock just my 2 cents tho

Yeah if they are not working correctly or one is leaking I can see that happening. My kit was made specifically for the shop and they are valved in accordance to their specs.
