It's the stabilizer relocation bracket that came with my Trailmaster lift. I don't need it anymore since I added the EVO drag link flip kit which has an integrated relocation function on its trackbar bracket. Basically it rotates the oem stabilizer 180 degrees to get it above the tie rod. That way it's hard to hit it on any obstacles. If you're not that interested or don't plan on doing much trail riding it won't be any help, but it can be helpful if you do.

As far as the death wobble, the rule of thumb on the forum is that the steering stabilizer can mask the death wobble, but it won't be the cause of it. Most likely the wobble is caused from faulty ball joints or a loose trackbar. First course of action is to check the torque on the front suspension components. If they're all good, then go through this thread here:

Also, it appears that Chrysler used the wrong size bolts for the trackbar and control arms. You can buy a kit from Northridge 4x4 for about $50 to go to a better size bolt that many have been raving about. The thread about those bolts is here:

Good luck with getting rid of your wobble. In general, driving while having the wobble can make the problem exponentially worse or it could even destroy some of the suspension components, so try and get it taken care of ASAP.

I my self have had been chasing death wobble. Had my jk at a nation tire and battery chain for an alignment 3 times. They said it was dead on. Blew out two stabs. Ordered Rough Country dual set up and it still had death wobble. I finally had enough, took jk to the jeep service center and had them check the alignment, caster and pinion angles. Jeep told me my caster and pinion were dead on but my drivers side tire was 0.75 inches out and my passenger side tire was 0.25 inches in. They re set my toe and have not had any issues since. The cause of the bump steer ( death wobble ) was because the tires were scrubbing while going down the road, when you came upon a bump on the road which causes the suspension to lift, the tires are pointing in another direction and are fighting to stay were there pointing. That's what was told to me by the service manager and tech. Have it aligned at the jeep garage and have them look at everything. Hope this helps, took me a year to finally get an answer and the problem resolved.
