Aftermarket Steering Stabilizer
 
I am looking at getting an aftermarket steering stabilizer. How big a change or improvemnt will this make on handling? Is it worth it?

Advice and photos welcome.

unless your oem is blown, don't waste your money. doesn't make a bit of difference.

An aftermarket SS won't improve your handling.... What my RC heavy duty SS did was that it reduced bump steer a little. Moreover the RC SS is relocated in a higher position than the stock one so it will be dificcult to hit a rock or something during off road.

X2 I also have the RC SS , relocate's it to higher position. But other wise you will not see much change in handling.

I was considering the Teraflex 9550. I am eventually looking at getting a 3" lift too.

You'll find that most of the people on here will tell you that the OEM stabilizer will do just as good a job as any aftermarker stabilizer so long as it is not trashed or leaking. There's plenty of other things you could buy for $100 :yup:

2010+ Factory JK Steering Stabilizer is very good. They are the most responsive units that I have seen by far.

I recommend buying woods' ss relocation bracket it's cheap insurance and easy to install
