Default Factory Stabilizer Leaks

After reading the thread, unsure what to do now.
Get another factory unit?
Or get one that pulls to right?
Thanks:

Depends on your mods...my stock one blew up, the tereflex one blew in 3k miles and leaked all over the garage, the bilstein has 5k miles and I added 35's and it's still fine.

It's gas charged... Bilsteins are known to push you left... It's due to the ss extending, the result is a 'push' on the bar towards the driver. If you run 35's or taller/bigger, they help counteract the push.

I just installed my bilstein SS yesterday...now my jk wont shimmy....but I pull to the left...and now from I read its normal...I'm just running 31's and just recently got a 2.5 lift....and I would get death wobble when I hit a bump. So anyways my question is...would a wheel alignment fix the pulling to the left?..
