No, there is no need for a rack and pinion vehicle..

YOU have both of you have RACK and PINION steering..

people use steering stabilizers on Steering BOX style steering which you do not have..

there is nothing to stabilize on a rack and pinion..

google rack and pinion to learn how it works...

a steering stabilizer is just a bandaid anyway. there is normally something wrong which needs fixed.

when have you had an alignment? tires rotated? balljoints?

well that helps a little.
well i thought it might help my truck for when i put 33s on it. but my buddy has an extended cab 4x4 w BL and 33 13.50 tsl on it and keeps tellin me he needs one so bad and i tell him they dont make any that i know of. my truck aint bad but his is. so im just guessin he needs balljoints and an alignment anyways but really wanted your opinions 1st. i havent got a chance to check anything on his truck, he doesnt know much about mechanics and i dont either but i know more than him. guess ill look at the balljoints tomorrow.
