Operating the Adjustable Stabilizer

The RSO Suspension Steering Stabilizer features an adjustable reservoir that allows you to customize the stiffness of your steering. This adjustment is made via a knob located on the reservoir. Turning the knob will modify the damping characteristics, enabling you to dial in the steering feel that best suits your driving style and terrain conditions.

The unique through-design of the stabilizer ensures that the piston flows through all of the oil, providing consistent resistance regardless of the steering wheel's position. This design eliminates inconsistent feedback, offering predictable and reliable steering performance.

Onderhoud

Raptor Series RSO Suspension Steering Stabilizers are fully rebuildable. This means that individual components such as spherical bearings, wiper seals, and the piston can be replaced. This feature allows for extended product life and consistent performance over many years of use, ensuring your stabilizer remains effective for the lifetime of your vehicle.
