Default Teraflex Steering Stabalizer took a dump

So today i noticed my steering stabalizer was dripping fluid from it, I've had it barely over a year. What's a better replacement than a Teraflex, I'm not going back with them. Any Suggestions?

The stock steering stabelizers are actually very stout, if you happen to still have yours throw it back on. If not, I have my old stock one for sale. Reason I have a new one is because it came with my kit...

Let me know...

Default Teraflex

Give Teraflex a call I had one for a short time before it leaked as well. They said they had a bad batch of steering stabilizers that had bad seals and will send you a new one. The new batch has a new and improved seal I just got my new one on last week.

What's is the warranty on this from TF? I would think they may be willing to work with you since they are a forum sponsor...

Contacted Teraflex and they are shipping me a new one, they had a bad batch go out. New one has a dust boot on it they said. Teraflex has awesome customer service and takes care of its customers!

Take a look at the OME stabilizer, nice and isn't pressurized like the bilstein. It's a twin tube shock. Get the relocation bracket with it.
