Cure Death Wobble and Steering Wander: The Dana 60 High Steer Kit Solution There is nothing quite as terrifying as experiencing severe steering wander or full-blown "death wobble" while piloting a heavy 4x4 on the highway or navigating a narrow shelf road. When you bolt massive mud tires onto a lifted solid-axle rig, the factory steering components are pushed far beyond their breaking point. The resulting flex, worn joints, and steep drag link angles combine to create unpredictable and dangerous handling. If your rig feels like it has a mind of its own, it is time to ditch the failing factory hardware. Upgrading to a heavy-duty Off Road Crossover Steering setup is the definitive way to restore tight, responsive control. Let’s look at how a true one-ton conversion cures your steering woes. The Root Causes of Steering Slop Standard push-pull steering systems are engineered for stock tires and flat geometry. When you install a suspension lift, the drag link angle becomes extremely steep. As the suspension hits bumps, it pushes and pulls against the steering box, causing violent bump steer. Furthermore, standard light-duty tie rod ends wear out rapidly under the immense weight and leverage of 37-inch or 40-inch tires, introducing inches of dead play into your steering wheel. A Dana 60 Crossover Steering configuration corrects the geometry by moving the drag link completely above the passenger-side leaf spring, keeping it parallel to the axle. For classic truck builders dealing with sloppy factory setups, executing a Chevy Dana 60 Crossover Steering swap using a complete Dana 60 kingpin steering kit is the most effective way to eliminate these dangerous handling traits. Restoring Control with the Ultimate 1 Ton Steering Upgrade Kit To completely cure steering wander, you must replace every flex point and worn joint in the front end. The East West Offroad Dana 60 kit accomplishes this by providing a comprehensive package of over-engineered Dana 60 Kingpin Parts. 1. Eliminating Play with GM 1 Ton Tie Rod Ends The leading cause of a wandering truck is worn-out tie rod ends. This system replaces them with massive, industry-standard GM 1 Ton Tie Rod Ends. These joints feature much larger ball studs and thicker shanks to easily handle the leverage of heavy off-road tires. The comprehensive hardware package includes: ES2026R ES2027L drag link ends (with all necessary hardware) ES2234L ES2234R tie rod ends (with all necessary hardware) 2 Threaded Screws, 2 Grease Fittings, and 2 Spacers (Please note: The pitman arm is optional).
