I love my ThurenFab track bar. I highly recommend it. Also along with the other things you have listed. Next you'll be looking at a PSC steering box.

I've been running that set up along with the other stuff in my sig for well over 20K.....my only regret is that I didn't do it sooner.

The DSS is great if your steering box is still in decent shape, but if it's shot you'll need to replace it whether you run the DSS or not.

I thinks you may be on the right track-bar, I put the 03 track bar kit in and the rubber bushing still allows too much movement. The Thuren bar with the DSS stabilizer and PSC steering box looks like the closest I'll get to straight line driving. Wish I knew all this about 1 set off ball joints 2 trac bars and 2 steering boxes ago. PK

I think you answered your own question as to why you have no problems
