Is a steering stabilizer worth it??
I am considering buying the Teraflex ss, but have read that the JK ss is capable of handling pretty much anything you can throw at it as they upgraded it big time from the TJ model.
Any input?
Thanks

I put a PR 44 on my rig a while back and it did not have a bracket for an SS on it, so I have been running without it for some time and honestly, don't miss it. I have the bracket to weld, just working on other projects.
The concern with the stock SS is that it sits below the tie rod and if you wheel at all, likely to be whacked and go bad. A better investment would be to get a relocation kit to move the SS above the tie rod and have it out of the way.

I would have been running without a SS a long time ago had it not been relocated above.
I know there is a really good one out there...think its called rustys or something sold by dominion offroad...Actually saw one on a Jeep for the first time today and it looked like good stuff!!
As far as a new SS...With something trivial like that, I say if it aint broke...

Just replaced my stock unit with a procomp. much beefier than the factory one. i had a bad case of death wobble and upon inspection i found that all the fluid had leaked out. rides much better now.

I thought someone posted a video once stating that if you had a correct setup you wouldn't have death wobble at all with or without a steering stabilizer. He said that the steering stabilizer only hid the real problem.
So my point, I have no idea...
However, I want the dual setup because it looks cool.

If you are looking to relocate and you have a lift 3"+, I'd go with the EVO drag link flip kit. It corrects your post-lift steering AND relocates the SS on the axle-end.
