Steering stabilizer bolt broke?

If it's new with the stabilizer, call the manufacturer and warranty it. When I added one to my 03 Suburban, I had to get the bolt from the dealer since it wasn't included in the box. An offroad shop like 4wheel Parts should have it too.

I got a new monroe stabilizer from Amazon (sc2913), I'll see if they will send me a new bolt.
4wp have it in stock, or can order it for me?

I was going to drive the truck, but with death wobble and terrible roads I don't want to risk it without a stabilizer.

I have that bolt. I would also check all the tie rod ends. I never had any luck just changing the steering stabilizer. Also make sure the calipers are returning to neutral after braking. That creates uneven drag and makes the wobble also. Good Luck. You can weld the stud on also. It never needs to be changed.

The one I took off was leaking pretty bad and had a fair amount of play in it. I just got new tires mounted and balanced so both of these changes I'm hoping will settle the issue, if not then I'll be all over the tie rods. (old tires were very out of a balance)

I emailed Monroe since amazon was only the proxy seller, hopefully they respond soon-ish and will replace the bolt for me.

No stabilizer in the world is gonna stop death wobble...gotta find the source, and that can be maddening. Shouldn't be bad with that front end...1000 times worse with a 5-link setup.

Monroe got back to me pretty fast, looks like they will send me the bolt for free. So far this is very good customer service.
