How to Fix Roadmaster Exact Center Steering Stabilizer that Pulls to One Side
Question:
Roadmaster Exact Center Steering Stabilizer w/ Custom Brackets Item #RM47MR Just installed this. Pictures below: I have a left pull: The instructions say to proceed to step 7 of the instructions on the procedures for making adjustments until it’s centered. Unfortunately the direction that we’re sent end at step 6. With no specifics tasks described on how to lengthen or shorten the shaft. There is nothing online under the product. My left pull, In my case I would have to shorten my shaft but there appears to be no space at the jam nut to do so. In the absence of the proper procedure to Lengthen and shorten for adjustments I am guessing. What are the steps to lengthen and shorten the shaft. On both ends my jam nuts can only move a 1/4 turn.

I found the online version of the install instructions for the Exact Center stabilizers like the # RM47MR. What's fun is that just when you think you have found the correct step to address your problem it tells you to continue to the next step.
For Exact Center installations: First, ensure that the suspension is loaded. Then, tighten the jamb nuts against the
ring nuts on each end. Note: Hold the Exact Center unit in place so that it does not rotate when you tighten the
jamb nuts. Test drive the vehicle and ensure that it is not pulling to the left or right. If it needs to be adjusted, follow step
8. Note: Due to manufacturing variances, the decals may be situated on either the passenger side or the driver’s side of the vehicle. This does not impact the product’s functionality or how it is installed, as the unit is bi-directional.
Ensure that the dust boot is not twisted before proceeding to the next step.
8. For Exact Center installations only: First, ensure that the suspension is loaded. Then, tighten the jamb nuts against the ring nuts on each end (Fig.5). Note: Hold the Exact Center unit in place so that it does not rotate when you tighten the jamb nuts. Test drive the vehicle and ensure that it is not pulling to the left or right. If it needs to be adjusted, follow step 9.
9. IMPORTANT Several micro-adjustments may be needed before the fit is dialed in. On installs where the unit is located behind the front axle and fixed to the passenger side with the driver's side of the unit on the tie rod or drag link: A left pull can be corrected by lengthening the unit; a right pull can be corrected by shortening the unit.

Important: Only loosen one jamb nut at a time when adjusting. Be sure the jamb nuts are tightened against
the END and not the body. Do not exceed a distance of 3/8” between the jamb nut and unit body.
