Just Installed the fox after christmas and yes push to the left is easily noticeable. The softness in the steering is definitely improved though. I had to switch back to the stock one though. On a straight road holding the steering to the right blows.

Thank you for the heads up. I was fixing to pull the trigger on one. Did you try to let some pressure out of the valve on the end?

was at 4wheel parts yesterday to pull the trigger on one for my 08 and they told me to stay away from aftermarket ones and said to get a mopar one that was redesigned in 2010. I ordered one and will be installing it next week with a bracket to raise it up so I dont smash it up again. The mopar part number was 52060058af. Runs around 50 bucks if you order from the internet or its around a hundred bucks from the stealership.

If you want to sell your fox let me know I blew mine on some rocks and need a new one.

I haven't tried any aftermarket brands, but any that push to one side are not proper stabilizers. The stabilizer should be evenly valved on each side to dampen sudden steering changes from either direction. If it pushes to one side it will not dampen properly if the wheels steer in that direction.
