After steering stabilizer installation cant turn left!!
I have tried and tried but can only find info on people who have wheeled and then couldn't turn one way but could fully turn the other way. I just installed a new steering stabilizer, and on completion I noticed I can turn right more then normal, but only an inch or two to the left. I followed teraflex's YouTube installation to a tee. I don't have a clue on what happened and my research skills are tapped. Has this happened to anyone else on here? Any help is appreciated!! -Aaron

If all you did was install a new steering damper, turning right more than normal may be imagined, because it should turn to the stops on the knuckle, which were not touched during the installation.
Regarding turning left, maybe the new damper is reaching its travel limit, or is defective.
Disconnect it and see if you get full steering again.

A steering stab is not a must to have it just makes life easier.

I did not do any if that as teraflex's video did not state that. I just took the stab off and put the new one on. But I will start from scratch and take it off and and do all of this and see if that helps.

Yep, turn the wheel all the way to the left. Shock 1/8 or so from full extension and tighten tie rod clamp. Now make sure the shock doesn't over compress the other direction. It shouldn't but worth doing.

any chance you are using teraflex's high steer setup? the teraflex stabilizer requires a special bracket if used with their high steer setup. i don't know all the details, but it says the bracket moves the mount upwards 2.5 inches and eliminates body and shaft damage. maybe the stabilizer is rubbing on something when you turn left?
