A dual-wheel valve stem stabilizing clip ( 20 ) that is used for immobilizing a reverse-mounted valve ( 40 ) mounted on dual truck wheels ( 28 ). The clip consists of pair of U-shaped spring brackets ( 22 ), with each including an S-shaped outer distal end ( 24 ). The brackets are positioned on top of each other with the outer distal ends at opposite extremities. A number of adjustment holes ( 26 ) in each bracket align together to permit a variation in overall length. A spring doubler shim ( 32 ) that is configured in a U-shape and is sandwiched on top of each spring bracket to provide additional rigidity to the spring brackets. A valve stem cushion ( 38 ) is compressed within brackets and shims and receives and secures the valve on an inner wheel of dual truck wheels. Threaded fasteners attach the brackets and shims together to form a clip capable of being manually bent in an arc shape and snapped into a hand hole ( 30 ) of an outer truck wheel rim in order to stabilize the valve stem installed on an inner truck wheel rim.
