Default Teraflex Steering Stabilizer

Anyone have this on their Jeep? Im wanting to install it but have heard from some people that it started oozing green stuff before even taking it off roading. I'm a fan of Teraflex but am just curious. Thanks

Had one and threw it away about 6 months later. It started "oozing" after about 4 months of street use and when I took it off it was completely empty. Teraflex makes great products but the stabilizer is less to be desired. I have the dual RC stabilizers now and they definitely firmed up the steering but honestly they're a pain when you have to do some work on the front end. Im looking to go with either the fox or bilstein gas stabilizer next. Just getting some other mods first.

I use to have one...and it worked fine, it didn't leak, and did its job as intended, until I smashed it plowing against some rocks

it def is beefier than the OEM ss.

You would SOL on the warranty on that one.

Looks like this should be on your "To-buy" list:

I already know of a few times where it's saved my SS. Money well spent!

i have it. Initially i lost some oil, David of Northridge advise to wait a few days before returning it. After a few day, the oil loss was gone!

I have the JKS relocation brace as well. Northridge sells them as a kit. Very good price! However, we had to improvise a bit to get the SS mounted on the tie rod. Apparently European Jeeps are different because the included parts did not fit. But a friend with a welder did the trick.

So far no issues!

I just replaced mine last week because it was leaking. Will you swap me a new one for the old so I have a spare?

PM me please.

I've had the TeraFlex SS for about three months now and she's been wheeled. No leaks so far.
