A steering stabilizer resists the side - to - side motion and vibration that travels from your tires to your control arms, to your steering system, and ultimately to your steering wheel. The mount and intensity of the side loading and vibrations go up as you increase tire size andor change your rigs geometry with a lift kit. ICON steering stabilizers use ICON 2.0 Series shock absorbers to isolate your steering components from road or trail harshness so you always have smooth, predictable control of your vehicle.
