Default Steering Stabilizer blown?

I was just looking under my jeep and saw a bunch of oil on the lower passenger control arm and axle...looks like oil of some sort is dripping out of the ss. This only has maybe 10k miles on it.... Sorry for the blurry pic, but you get the idea....

Mine did the same thing about 2 weeks ago. I didn't notice it in the steering, but found the leak when I was under it putting on my skids. Replaced it and all is well again.

My TF leaked too not being on too long. I did not replace with another. I've seen too any problems with these so I upgraded with Billsteins and couldn't be happier.

I’m not sure who Tera Flex is buying there stabilizers from but I know Bilstein makes their own and do a good job at it.

I've gone through two - first one started leaking after two months, second lasted a whole eight months - no bueno. Just had it replaced with the Fox racing stabilizer.

My TF SS blew out a week ago after about 5000 miles, maybe even less than that

Who knows but the Teraflex name is a reputable one. They should address this soon. I mean I have more dents and scratches on my stock SS and it never leaked. If fact while I was waiting for my Billstein, the stocker went back on a did a good job even banged up.
