steering stabilizers

The‘return-to-center’concept

and how it works…

Take the spring from a ballpoint pen. Hold each end

with a thumb and index finger and squeeze it toward the

middle. Feel the pressure pushing your fingers apart?

Now, gently extend the spring. Feel the pressure of the

spring pulling your fingers back to the neutral position?

That’s what physicists call ‘memory,’ or the ability of a

material to return to its original state.

Reflex Steering Stabilizers have a tempered steel

spring secured at both ends to a specially designed

and valved steering damper.

One end of the stabilizer is at-

tached to the tie rod, and the

other end is securely fastened to

the chassis undercarriage.

When the steering stabilizer

is compressed, the spring push-

es back to the neutral position.

When extended, the spring pulls

back to the neutral position.

BenefitsReflexprovides…

• Front tire blow out — when

you blow out a front tire, your

vehicle will make an abrupt turn

toward that tire, causing you to veer into oncoming traf-

fic or off the road. The stabilizer reacts instantaneously

to bring the vehicle back to center.

• Crosswinds and passing traffic — works to keep

your steering centered, and prevents oversteering to

help control your vehicle more effectively.

• Road fatigue — helps you stop fighting the steer-

ing wheel for control. The stabilizer keeps the steering

wheel centered — not you.

• Rut tracking — ruts cause you to oversteer. With

the Reflex Steering Stabilizer on board, your reactions

become easier, eliminating overcompensation when

steering out of a rut.

• Road edging — when your tire drops off the edge

of the pavement, it can startle

even the most careful driver. The

Reflex Steering Stabilizer keeps

you going straight — helping

you control the RV until you’re

back on the road.

• Pot holes and debris — with

the Reflex Steering Stabilizer in

place, the motorhome will stay

straight and go in the direc-

tion you want, even when you

bounce through a pot hole or

other dangerous road condition.

Whatdoourcustomerssay?

“After installing the (Reflex) stabilizer bars, the truck

handles like a Ferrari! Unbelievable how this has changed

the unfavorable handling characteristics into a finely-tuned,

very user-friendly vehicle with exceptional road manners.

After the installation, I test-drove doing hard swerves…

like being on rails! I highly recommend adding these to your

chassis.”

5.6

million in Goodyear tire crash

By Molly Moorhead, St. Petersburg Times staff writer

Published Tuesday, June 29, 2010

The Interstate 10 crash near Chipley in the Panhandle destroyed John

Schalmo’s motorhome and injured family members in 2004. He sued Goodyear

Tire Co. “It was simply to make Goodyear admit that they’ve got a tire out

there that’s a problem,” he says.

NEW PORT RICHEY — John Schalmo was driving with his

family to his son’s graduation from boot camp in August 2004

when he felt a vibration, then a tire blow underneath his RV.

The motorhome slid down an embankment, across an interstate

on-ramp and into some trees.

Schalmo suffered multiple broken bones. His mother-in-

law’s face was shattered. His father-in-law lost both his legs.

The family sued Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., alleging its

G159 tire was defective — prone to overheat and separate at

high rates of speed — and that Goodyear knew it.
