Default Help with adjusting Bilstein streering stabilizer
I recently put an AEV 2.5" lift on my 12 JKU and thought since I got the Bilstein shocks with the lift I would get the steering stabilizer to match. It now steers to the left. How do I adjust it to eliminate it steering to the left?

I think the stabilizer piston should be facing the right side? Is that how yours is?

Others have ran a dual stabilizer set up to counter the pull to one side...

I have the cylinder mounted on the passenger side. With my current sent I think dual steering stabilizers would be too much.

there's a write-up on here and teraflex has a video about installing and adjusting your SS - all you really need is the stock unit.

Go full wheel lock in either direction and either fully compress or extended the stabilizer accordingly.

I reviewed the threads talking about steering stabilizers before buying my Old Man Emu. I also have bilsteins but did not go with the Bilstein SS because of the issue with it pulling to the left. The OME has had no issues.
