      This steering stabilizer is for those of you who have a broken, worn-out, bent, or leaking steering stabilizer, and are looking to replace it. Today, we're gonna talk through the installation of this stabilizer, which is going to be a very simple one out of three wrench installation. This is designed to bolt directly in place of your factory steering stabilizer. So again, very easy install. Will you take you less than an hour, and we'll talk more about that in just a second.Now, this is a steering stabilizer that is going to be a nice option for replacing that factory one. It's going to work similar to the factory one without being way overpriced or way over-engineered. It's very important to note what a steering stabilizer or what a steering dampener, more accurately, is really designed to do. So when you're driving down the road, you have big tires on your Jeep, you hit a bump, normally you would feel some shock travel up through the steering linkage and into your hands in the steering wheel. So a steering stabilizer or dampener is designed to suck up some of that shock so you don't feel quite as much feedback through your steering wheel. A steering stabilizer is not designed, and will not get rid of a wobble. Certainly not death wobble, and definitely not bump steer. If you have any of those issues, you should diagnose and fix those problems before installing a new steering stabilizer. If you go out and buy a new steering stabilizer and throw it on your Jeep, it may feel like it fixed one of those issues. However, it's just the new steering stabilizer covering up that problem. You're going to very quickly blow up your new steering stabilizer and still have the same suspension geometry issue. So again, fix one of those other issues first, and then replace your steering stabilizer if it's broken, bent, leaking, or otherwise, needs replacement. This is not going to be a band aid for poor suspension geometry. However, if you do need a replacement, again, I do think that this one's pretty fairly priced, and it's going to do what you need it to do. So the Rugged Ridge ORV Shocks are going to be a nitrogen charged shock. But this steering stabilizer, while it's still a Rugged Ridge ORV steering stabilizer, is not nitrogen charged, and that is definitely a good thing. If you have a nitrogen charge in your steering stabilizer, it can be constantly pushing the steering wheel one way or the other, which can be very annoying. It can actually make it very difficult to turn the steering wheel in one direction but not the other, and can actually wear out some steering components faster than they otherwise would. So this being a 50-50 valved hydraulic shock, which is exactly what it should be, is definitely a good thing. This is going to be a steel shock. Obviously, you can see painted white, black shock, pretty plain and simple. It has a hardened steel, chrome, and polish piston rod that goes with it. And it's just a very simple piece, but it does exactly what it's designed to do. There are steering stabilizers out there on the market that cost four times what this one costs. And there is absolutely no reason for that. It's not going to work any better or any worse. This is going to be just fine for what most of us are doing with our Jeeps.So for the install, again, this is a one out of three wrench installation. Under an hour to get this bolted up because it does go directly in place of your factory steering stabilizer, which makes the install simple. All you need to do is unbolt your factory stabilizer from both the drag link and also from its spot on the axle. Go ahead and remove it completely, and bolt up the new one. Very simple process. Just have a socket set on hand, and you can do this in your driveway in under an hour.This steering stabilizer's gonna run you right around $65, and I don't think that's a bad price. There are some less expensive ones on the market, and I think you can get away with a couple of those as well. You wouldn't wanna go bargain, basement pricing because the seals aren't gonna hold up. It's gonna start leaking. But again, I also wouldn't spend four times this much on one of those steering stabilizers either, because there's just no reason for it. So I think you're right in the realm of where you wanna be with the pricing on this steering stabilizer. I think you're gonna get quality, and I think it's a fair price.So that's my review of the Rugged Ridge ORV steering stabilizer, fitting your 1987 to 2006 Wrangler, that you can find right here at extremeterrain.com.
