Did the brace help tighten up the steering much? I'm not going to be doing much, if any, offroading, but I would like to get rid of a lot of the steering slop.

Its going to feel a lot like it did brand new, but it is going to stay that tight a lot longer.

Man, $231!? Does it come with both sides (idler and pitman)?

Is this a major problem for non off road trucks?

I'd love to keep my truck's steering feel tighter longer!

Thats for both sides, and it doesnt make it feel any tighter it just makes it stay tighter longer. If youve got a decent amount of miles on the truck it would be best to replace both arms then put the braces on. After that, you shouldnt have to replace them again, expecially with just street use.

Yeah I read that on their site. So w just 11k miles, if I put them on my steering will be tight forever... right.

Great... another part on my list...

Why can't I leave anything stock...

pitman arm, and a tie rod end . . . that's probably what he said.
