Having only 2" lift and TeraFlex rear track bar bracket... This makes sense why I feel no need for a steering stabilizer.
Why, then, every car with independent suspension (no floating axle, so no track bar), which has no axle effect on steering, has a steering stabilizer?

The two are not related, they have different functions.

So steering stabilizers do nothing, but help with bump steer, dual steering stabilizer and hydro assist are the same thing.lol


Sweet I'm gonna ****ing go get the quad stabilizer.


Clearly everyone is arguing over semantics. Yes steering stabilizer DO have a purpose and function.

No they will not completely change your steering geometry.

What's so hard to understand?

Where on a rack and pinion vehicle do they mount the steering stabilizer? The porsche in my garage doesnt have one, nor does my grand cherokee. I must be missing something.

Also, once again, this has no relevance to the original subject.

When the suspension is in good shape, the SS doesn’t dampen. You can’t even feel if it’s on the Jeep or not.

The ONLY purpose of steering stabilizers is to prevent the steering wheel from flying off the hands, and maintaining steering control, in case of failure.



There’s a steering stabilizer on practically every vehicle, including on independent suspensions.
(BTW, it’s not “solid front diff”, it’s a “floating axle”)



Rolls-Royce, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bentley, etc., definitely do not install SS “to make up for how shitty of a design their steering system”... Yet, they all have steering stabilizers.



there is no steering stabilizer on any front wheel drive car...nor is there one in any ferrari lamborghini or bentley lol. you are so far from being right its almost comical.

the guy has no idea what he is talking about.

there has never been a front wheel drive car iwth a steering stabilizer, nor does any super car LOL.

i assume he thinks the rack n pinion and its joints are the steering stabilizer hahaha.

And you can tell just by driving one. The torque steer in a FWD car is obvious. I bet a dual rough country setup would be sweet on FWD car. No more torque steer.

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.



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?

You cannot eliminate axle steer by using the crc link. It has to do with the control arms not the fact the axle is centered. You can reduce it as much as you can by running links that are as parallel to the ground as you can.
