Hit a rock hard on my last wheeling trip and now my steeling stabilizer is bent, dented and leaking a little oil



I've got the Rugged Ridge ORV stabilizer on order but won't get to me for another week.

Question is: how safe is it to drive with my current stabilizer? And also, if you own a RR ORV stabilizer, how do you like it?

shouldn't be a problem.

mine is dented and bent to still drives fine although mine isn't leaking yet how bad is it. if its not to bad you should be fine

You can drive without a steering stabilizer. No problem just look at a relocation kit before you get a new one, puts it in a safer place.

Been diving without mine for about three months

Relocate it , I broke 3 before an aftermarket kit was available .

Pull it off you can drive with out it just fine.

I wouldn't want that thing locking up on me and prevent me from turning my wheels.

Shouldn't be a problem for you. A properly set up Jeep will not have any issues running without a steering stabilizer. Just don't start booting down washboard roads at high speed.

Hey Chris - I did damage just like that when we were all at Bundy Hill a few weeks back. I haven't even ordered a replacement yet cause it really doesn't affect much if the rest of your suspension/steering is good. I've driven before without one on at all and I was really surprised how well it behaved. Nice to have, but not really necessary.

Thanks for the replies all. Yeah I bought the Rugged Ridge ORV stabilizer and it relocates it above the bar. The stock location is just asking for trouble.
