Description
If you're the owner of a Ram truck, chances are pretty good you've heard of Death Wobble and potentially experienced it yourself. And the chances are even greater that you're likely experiencing a lot of slop in the steering wheel. While both of these can be due to numerous issues such as ball joints, track bar, or even out of balance tires, the most common issue we see is excessive play in the sector shaft that comes out of the steering gear box which the pitman arm is attached to. Due to the amount of stress being applied to this small shaft, it will develop a substantial amount of play that causes you to constantly fight the steering wheel to keep the truck tracking straight down the road.Synergy Steering Box Brace for Dodge Ram Trucks are designed to support the steering box sector shaft by using a pillow bearing. This brace ties the front frame horns together to eliminate steering box wonder and significantly increases the life of your vehicles steering box.

Boost It | Synergy Steering Box Brace
One common issue with Ram trucks, since the switch to coil-sprung front ends in 1994, is steering wander, which can sometimes lead to the dreaded Death Wobble. A key cause is play in the sector shaft from the steering box. Installing a sector shaft brace, like this one from Synergy, helps prevent this by adding extra support between the frame rails and sway bar. Made from durable 2.0” x 0.120” square tubing and finished in gloss black powder coat, this easy-to-install upgrade is one of the most cost-effective ways to improve your Rams performance.
