Stabilizers were simple to put in and have improved my ride dramatically. I never knew how messed up my vehicle was until I put these on. Rides smooth and straight as an arrow no, no wobbiling at all.

Really worth the money. Steering is tighter and less reactive on the road. Handling seems better. I'm really happy with this product

Just installed this stabilizer on my 2019 jeep and it's riding better than ever. I guess the old ones had worn down some because it was really rocking before I put these things on.

Great product, very well made. I immediately noticed the difference when I put them on my ride. Feeling like I could ride the highway all day now. No wobble or funny noises like before. I guess you could say I'm stabilized.

These steering stabilizers are top notch. I can really tell the difference when I'm driving now, handles better and the steering feels nice and smooth. Great product, I would buy them again.

Disappointed with the expensive and underperforming replacement

I had about 38000 miles on my Gladiator and figured it was about time to replace the SS. This went on easy and worked as designed. This doesn't preform better than OEM and probably cost 2x the Mopar part which I probably would have ordered if you could find one.

Great solution for 'death wobble' issue
by Valued Customer - November 01, 2022

The dealer wanted 165 to install, 165 for a front-end alignment and 200.00 for the part.Bought same part on here for around 160, took 30 minutes to install, and no alignment necessary.We had experienced ""death wobble"" at 65mph with 10k miles on the 2019 Wrangler.Per research, this was supposed to fix it, and it did. No more drift and no more ""death wobble"", even at 80+ mph.Don't let your dealer rip you off...if you can remove two nuts, this is a simple install.

Improved steering performance on the Gladiator

Update 1/29/23: Today I took the Gladiator out in winds gusting 25 to 35 MPH and a crosswind to the Highway for the entire trip. The Gladiator handled wind very well all the way and ice part of the way, the truck handled much better and made for a much more relaxing drive with the new damper installed. The drive was very comfortable due to the much better tracking of the truck. I ran from Lakeview Oregon to Paisley Oregon and back to Lakeview on Highway 31 and am very happy with this upgrade. Why don't all the Rubicon's come with this steering dampers installed from the factory? They already have Fox shocks on these trucks one more Fox damper would be great.This damper is a high quality unit that is somewhat serviceable, meaning that the oil can be changed and if needed topped off. The body looks to be cast aluminum that has been machined down to its final shape.This did help my 2022 Gladiator's wandering issues on some of the rougher paved roads out here in Eastern Oregon. This install has helped to almost eliminate the amount of steering inputs needed to keep a straight track down the highway. The 2022 - 2023 Gladiator's now come from the factory with a steel steering box in place of the aluminum box of the 2020 - 2021 Gladiator's.I needed to turn down one of the damper bolts from square shoulder to a 12.88mm round shoulder so it would fit the small end of the new damper (see photo). I did leave a small part of the square shoulder so it fits the stock bracket's square hole on the right wheel end of the axle.Overall this is a good way to keep the Gladiator in a smooth straight line. I would recommend this to anyone that drives lots of highway miles.

Positive upgrade for Jeep Wrangler steering

After experiencing Death Wobble for the first time I found this part was listed as the part number for an upgrade to the OEM stabilizer. I actually wasn't expecting to feel a difference but the Jeep feels quite different. To put into words the steering feels tighter and much more precise. Jeep really needs to up their game with the OEM part. It failed at just under 7k miles. This Fox unit works great, and comes with a bolt that will replace the original squared bolt. Install in 10 mins with 18mm socket and 18mm open wrench. 2021 Wrangler JLU
