Hi , Has anyone tried the Firm Feel sector support kit?

Just curious. My whole driving/suspension feels "loose" and was thinking of trying one.
God must love stupid people....he made a sh**load of 'em....

Details photos on your suspension ?
These are really for earlier b body steering box's ,
The real flex is in the K frame ,
Look at the threads on suspension upgrades, one of those is welding in gussets to stop the flex to steering box mount
Do you plates welded to bottom control arms,
I just finished putting the firmfeel adjustable strut rods, this to be able to adjust bottom arms to get more castor in steering, I'm impressed I can feel the difference without even getting a wheel alignment yet

Never tried it but it looks like it may be a good gamble to try for the price.  :Twocents:

This likely won't help the "loose" feeling of your whole suspension. We would need to dig into it a bit deeper to define if the loose you feel is simply the over-assisted mopar steering pump, a worn steering box, tolerance stack up of all the linkages, worn parts, soft  spring rates, etc, so on and so forth.

These reduce steering box deflection from running wide tires or aggressive alignments on a car that is completely assembled and you do not want to take apart to address flex. Welding and gusseting of the steering box mount can produce the same results but can't be done with the engine installed. However, the sector support can easily be bolted in to place on a finished vehicle. If you have someone turn the steering wheel lock to lock with the car stationary, and observe your steering box, you may be able to see how much you would benefit from adding this piece. If your box moves when the steering wheel moves, this will prevent that.

All new tie rod ends ,idler arm ,control arm bushings , sway bar bushings , etc. How do I check for a worn steering box? I was actually just looking at these ,and a couple posts , on Firm Feel. Everyone seemed to go with ,or wish they went , with the #3.
