That's the price I heard and that was a pre-order

 

Same here. I figured I would wait til I hear some feed back from other's on whether it was worth the coin or not first. Not going to be the $369 guinea pig.

 

That is absurd. I guess when nobody buys one they will stop the price gouging attempts.

 

I was quoted $369 too. No thanks!

 

I wonder if we will find them cheaper, by like a hundred or so bucks a few months down the road. Trying to inflate the price before the competition puts them on their site too. If so...that vendor won't see any future business from me.

FOX Racing Shox Performance Series trough shaft damper (TSD) steering stabilizer.

The TSD is very similar to a motorcycle steering stabilizer.

Solid and rigid mounted with spherical bearings forcing all of the wheel feedback into the TSD damper for complete control.

Clockable piggyback remote reservoir with Internal Floating Piston or “IFP” design separates shock oil from the high-pressure nitrogen charged gas chamber filled to 400 PSI eliminates oil aeration while providing a predicable ride capable of handling the roughest conditions with fade free performance.

Through Shaft Design provides equal damping force and pressure in both directions eliminating veering or pushing during on road driving.

24 clicks of “free bleed” adjustments from a very firm to a very free steering wheel feel accommodating any driving style on or off the road.

Specially designed stabilizer piston allowing for increased damping force at lower shaft speeds allowing for a consistent road feel at any speed.

An energized piston sealing o-ring is installed between the piston and wear band for a complete and total seal providing improved road feel through a wide range of temperature change.

CNC machined Aluminum components are Type II hard anodized to a scratch and fade free finish.

6061 T6 Aluminum 2.0 stabilizer body dissipates heat three times faster than a conventional steel body stabilizer.

FOX FACTORY racing formulated shock oil developed for ultimate performance at variable temperatures.

Large heavy-duty 5/8” chrome shafts are induction case hardened to over 55 Rockwell C virtually eliminating scratches caused by roost and debris.

Redundant sealing pack system that includes three individual shaft seals keeping the oil in and the dirt out for continues reliable performance. (Main seal, wiper seal, scrapper seal)

Many Thanks,

There's a lot of crap automakers put on vehicles that aren't necessary or are used to cover up and address flaws elsewhere. I tore my SS off the day after I bought my Jeep on a wheeling trip and didn't even realize it for almost a month.

Of course the JK benefits from a steering stabilizer. The stock ball joints, tie rod ends, and trackbar mounting brackets are garbage and I've never understood why Chrysler continues cut corners in this area, especially when just some minor tweaks would go a long way. Beefing up those areas of the suspension system will help with steering stability more than a $369 SS. We've all heard stories about how someone had death wobble, took their Jeep to get it fixed, the dealership or shop replaced the SS, the wobble is gone for a month, then comes back. They'll go through this song and dance a few more times before discovering the real issue was the trackbar mounting hole was wallowed out or the ball joints were shot to shit.

I'm not saying the JK doesn't benefit from a SS, but it certainly isn't an necessity given the proper attention to more important areas of the suspension. However, the JK doesn't need an aftermarket one, especially one with a $369 price tag. The stock one is more than adequate, especially relocated above the drag link.

Exactly. You can get lot more done on, to, and for your JK for $369.

 

Here's the pic I took at SEMA, it should be out in a couple of weeks, according to Fox

 

Holly-Crap! $370.... Pass. While I feel there is a difference in a quality vs. cheap stabilizer this one better be gold plated! There are a lot of really good alternatives for less than $200. (Which includes the relocation brackets. I think this one is targeted for guys with far deeper wallets than I have!
