Ive had marlins steering stabilizer sitting around my shop for a couple months now ... and am finally ready to install it... where is the best place to mount it and please post some pics and insight. Also how big a difference is it going to make as far as handling and bump steer?
Thanks,
Andy

Weld one mount to the inside of the passenger side frame rail, bolt the other side to the drag link.

I just did a sas on my 86 and I just installed my stabilizer bolted to the drag link i think, and to a bracket that was still on the frame from my IFS, I think it was a stop for the idler arm.. I have a pic of each side sorta... here..

Just took some pics of mine. Don't make fun of the dark brown color, as I painted it at night and spray can said black.

Although, mine is from AllPro and their weld-on bracket wraps around the the passenger frame rail, which no doubt increases the strength and streamlines the look. I'm sure Marlin's is very close in design...

Enjoy!
