How is the stabilizer going to save you if the steering fails?
And why are you relating a CRC or a custom rear link suspension w/ no TB to a ss. None of that makes any sense.

He does this all the time. A topic comes up, often about a steering stabilizer, and he goes off on a rant with a bunch of misinformation that is usually irrelevant to the topic of conversation.

There was a separating line in my post, and then quotes of questions and a misinformed reply:
---------------------------
“ive been concidering upgrading …. with something that may help that slight sawing effect u get on a 2 door
the 2 doors do seem to have a tendency to make you steer back and forth with the wheel …. id like to reduce it if i can ….. Aim and go rather than any left and right steering would be nicer.
Not 100% sure that [a SS] would really prevent it completely.
A front solid axle is the reason for the back and forth in the steering. As one wheel moves up or down on the road the axle shifts because of the track bar.”
My reply to these posts -- what causes the steering corrections and how to solve it -- was very much on topic, relevant and sensible.

So… I suggest you try to understand a post before rushing to conclusions and resorting to personal attack, which is out of place in any case.

Well I would guess it's pretty obvious after 5 pages covering 43 posts it's safe to say that opinions about steering stabilizers is like arses....everyone has one.
The personal attacks from some folks out there against other members are well, a reflection on the character of the attacker

I won't bother relating to it.

Throwing theories around is nice, until reality disproves the theory.
The reality is that after I installed the CRC Link on the rear axle, instead of the track bar, the constant steering corrections were gone.

If the sketch doesn't explain the effect of the track bar on the steering, I'll be glad to see a better explanation.

The CRC is based on an old mechanical invention by James Watt (1784) - the 'Watt's linkage'.
It has been successfully used on cars before, Full Traction adapted it to Jeeps.

Its such a good solution searching for a problem that nobody uses it but you even though you constantly tout how good a product it is.
Simply running track bars that are parallel with the ground solves the problem of axle shift under normal driving conditions.

Sure... More than two years after I bought the CRC Link, Full Traction keep producing them, although I’m their only customer...
A post that starts with such a blunt lack of logic, usually doesn’t get any better...

I’ve been sharing, with fellow Jeepers, the good experience or knowledge about many parts.
What YOU don’t like, becomes “touting”.
When A is using degrading words about B, the phrasing shows who A really is.

Simply running track bars that are parallel with the ground solves the problem of axle steer under normal driving conditions.
Your solution is limited to “normal driving conditions”.
I wanted to eliminate the axle steer under ALL conditions.
I wanted zero axle steer when offroading at higher speeds. I wanted zero axle steer when offroading at low speed and much articulation. I wanted zero axle steer when the Jeep jumps over a slowing bump.
The CRC Link does it.
A parallel track bar does it only, quote – “under normal driving conditions”.

How about people who, for whatever reason, won’t weld on the axle or frame? My impression is that that’s most of the Jeep owners. The CRC is bolt-on.

Do you think that resorting to arrogant personal attacks, or insisting on ones’ way as the only way, are attractive characteristics?

Having only 2" lift and TeraFlex rear track bar bracket... This makes sense why I feel no need for a steering stabilizer.
