I'm not sure but I saw a set of anti-jounce ride stabilizers for sale on
Ebay that were cylindrical with a small bracket attached . The warning label
said "do not attempt to disassemble".. I think due to heavy springs under
tension inside. I had never seen or heard of these before but the owner
claimed they were a rare option for task force trucks... A possiblility? I
didn't bid on them and I did not see what the final sales price was.
