Steering Support Brace

Will these imporove steering noticably?

The only thing I dont like on the steering of mine is that it feels loose on light turning, when I make a hard turn it feels a bit stiffer.


These are what I was looking at:

But in what way, will the steering be stiffer when i turn the wheel just slightly?

It's like a strut tower brace for the bottom.

Re: Steering Support Brace

the steering box produces a large amount of torque, the resulting force is enough to spread the frame rails apart, the torque load was highest at low speed sharp turns, the resulting damage was most noticable at higher speeds

gm noticed this problem and installed "wonder bars" on some of the cars
this chassis steering brace is basically an aftermarket wonder bar

i personally feel it is a good investment
as for a noticabl improvement i cant say because i'm not sure
