JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

Triple steering stabilizer!!

So your saying people with 37s don't get any kind of bump steer when on rough roads or hitting potholes?? Because every vehicle that I've owned with over sized tires when you hit rough terain the steering wheel can shimmy!

I know exactly what a steering stabilizer is for. It's basically a shock for your steering!

George, I don't fault you for putting that double stabilizer on your rig. Not my preference and I believe it's superfluous, but as it's been said, this is YOUR Jeep.

However, I gotta ask you about your statement above. Manufacturers sell alotta shit because people buy it, not because it's necessary.

The analogy I'll provide is in the sportbike world. Steering stabilizers are very popular, but provided the bike is set up correctly (spring rates, sag, etc.), stabilizers are most often not needed. They remain one of the most popular and fast selling mods though because they look trick when viewed from the parking lot of the local Starbucks.

Back to Jeeps. There are scads of near useless items you can purchase from the big warehouse suppliers. So just because it's for sale doesn't mean it's worth investing in.

I run 37's and the only time my steering wheel moves without my input, is from rocks and ruts. My steering doesn't move over bumps.

When I broke my stock SS, I had a shimmy when I hit certain bumps. When I replaced it, the shimmy went away. To say their useless, is wrong.
