Steering stabilizers

I am looking for the best possible steering stabilizers out there my friends . We just returned home from an extended trip out west. The wind and passing trucks left us holding tightly on the wheel to try and stay in lane ! We have a 2014 XL . Please send me your recommendations . We have had it aligned already .

The Safe T Plus gets very good reviews ! I'm having one installed on our 335DS that we are picking up this week!

We just installed the Safe T Plus steering stabilizer and it is truly amazing. The difference is WOW. I highly recommend them. We live in Oklahoma where the wind comes sweeping across the plains so we go through this stuff all the time. Trucks passing, amazing. I am not willing to say it's perfect but it is a world of difference. The next thing we're going to do is install Sumos Airless Springs and we will be set. Take care.

Check out the Roadmaster Reflex RSA first, does the same job as the Safe-t and cost less. Very easy install. I put it on my 378 and it made a world of difference. Went from both hands froze to the wheel and sawing on it for a 1000 miles to driving with one hand if I wanted to

We plan to get the Roadmaster just from a safety aspect

Absolutely! If you have ever have a front tire blow, or a suspension failure, it will keep you going in a straight line

Steering stabilizers

I put on the safe t plus, easy install and makes all the difference in the world. Have about 30,000 miles on it, swear by it. Safe t plus has about the same video, it's what sold me. Plus the driving without a steering stabilizer and the white knuckle syndrome associated with that.

Ditto...another happy customer for Roadmaster.
Makes a difference ... but don't expect miracles... reduces he impact of trucks and wind gusts on steering...kinda smooths it out.
Next "want" will be a REAR stabilizer to kill the rock & roll on some roads.

Another vote for the Roadmaster.

Have a 2016 Forester 3011DS, tended to wander. While not drastic still wasn't a relaxing drive. Got the Roadmaster and just smoothed things out. Now it is an enjoyable drive as we head down the road.

I installed the roadmaster on my 2016 364TS. Saved a couple
of hundred bucks over the safe T plus and it seems to be working pretty well.
