I have a 2008 Wrangler and it’s scary to drive. Had it since 2010. Took it to Midas and they said like $8k to fix it. I said no thanks but still scary. I replaced $200 steering stabilizer and seems to have solved 90% of that $8k estimate.

[@extremeterrain]

Just make sure you keep an eye on the rest of your front end! $8k sounds pretty steep in my opinion, but I have a feeling they likely saw that your tie rod ends, ball joints, control arm bushings and track bar bushings are starting to wear. The dual steering stabilizer will absolutely help prevent any looseness in your steering for now - but if other components are worn, they will eventually need to be replaced or else you run the risk of your steering stabilizers wearing out prematurely and loose steering coming back. -Zach

I had this professionally installed on my 98 Jeep Cherokee xj along with upgraded tie rod and ball joints to compliment my RC 3" lift.. Very happy with the front end upgrades and it drove smooth for about a month. Unfortunately the driver's side steering stabilizer started to leak hydraulic fluid all over my driveway. RC needs better quality control. I'm waiting on my mechanic to get a new one in hopefully this doesn't happen again.

Thank you for still showcasing JK mods.

[@extremeterrain]

Can't forget about our JK owners! Thanks for watching, Jason! -Zach

[@cody.meadows]

Funny how the camera cuts during the tough parts like getting the original mount off.

[@drewh1170]

I was thinking the same shit lmao 🤣

[@hardsincigar8505]

Gave this to my wife for Christmas and installed it today and it drives and steers great

[@extremeterrain]

Awesome to hear! Thanks for watching and Merry Christmas! -Zach

[@queensapphire7717]

The single steering stabilizer gave me some serious death wobble, I had to remove immediately and put my old OEM one back in, I am glad I kept the old one.

[@DHandyFamily]

So why didn’t you measure and even up the length on the shocks? I noticed you had the drivers side to the clamp but the passenger side was further out on the tie rod? I have the same setup, is it normal for the shocks to collapse all the way on the full turn? I don’t know if it can turn any more with out removing one side of the shock mount...

[@reggiejopek8511]

This is more of a question, but if you're not putting dual stabilizers but a single. Do you put the center axle bracket in the same place? Or towards tie rod end

[@ramonherrera4275]

Having a really hard time with the U bolts on the axle & the bracket. U bolts are a really tight fit & the holes on bracket will not line up. I take everything off & they line up fine. Put the U bolts back on the axle & I holes on the bracket still won't line up. Do I have to take the bracket to a machine shop to widen the holes? Any suggestions????? Only thing holding me up.

[@aidanmullen9438]

Did you get an answer? I have the same problem. The h bolts are just snug enough going over the axel that they spread slightly at the ends.

[@brucelamborn4665]

same - did you get a solution? Probably going to grab new u bolts at hardware store.

[@lawrencesanchez3432]

I installed mine and it's not turning fully on the right side how to fix it?

[@roblord2619]

Dont forget to tighten back up the ball joint before installing

[@lucifer0001]

Will this fit an upgraded tie rod & drag link? Thank you! PS. Do you sell more than this system by the same company?

[@rec6538]

thanks so much for the great video, just finished install and the video really helped

[@extremeterrain]

Thanks for watching! -Zach

[@sheepdogwatchnyou1688]

Nice job!..Thanks for sharing..I purchased this & it did not come with any instructions, or decals for the dampners 👎

[@extremeterrain]

We're happy to help! Thank you for watching and leaving a comment! -Zach

[@blazingace6829]

Will this work on a 2.5 spacer lift? It’s still considered a suspension lift instead of a body lift, but I’m just wondering.

[@extremeterrain]

It absolutely will! -Zach

[@original_silverdee]

Just did mine, thanks for the video, very helpful

[@extremeterrain]

Thanks for watching and hope your enjoy the parts! -Zach

[@AngelHernandez-lv7xy]

Do you need a lift to install this I get a lot of feed back in the steering wheel, but I will be adding a leveling kit 2 inch in the front one inch in the back I Ihave a 2018 jeep wrangler Willy’s jk

[@extremeterrain]

Nope you can install this without a lift! -Zach

[@arielgs]

I have this on my list of near future improvements

[@robertguest3046]

Great job and great video!!!!

[@extremeterrain]

Thanks for watching! -Zach

[@wolfthemandalorian3328]

Just cut the bolt. Gezzzzz

[@jamesb1969b]

Lol! My man! Great minds think alike!

[@johnkennedy1305]

you made it easy for me to install rough country instructions are not very clear

[@extremeterrain]

We're so happy to hear it helped out! -Zach

[@georgegastaldo5199]

Awesome step by step video, Thanks

[@extremeterrain]

Thank you for watching, George! -Zach

[@monsterenergy927]

Can I install this without lifting the front of the jeep and just turn the wheel to the left and right extremes on the ground?

[@jessicanorman9694]

Yes you can. Also by jacking up the vehicle you’ll be able to get that bolt out instead of all the extra work that they are doing in this video. Installing in much much easier then this shows.. puls it’s less work.

[@petrmeta8862]

I have them and they are great 👍

[@AmrAhmed-hp1mt]

Is this steering stabilizer better or the Old Man EMU steering stabilizer?

[@jessicanorman9694]

Old man is better then rough country been in the off-road game a long time.. it’s spendy due to that reason..but rough country is also way cheaper. Rough country vs old man is like shopping at Walmart vs target. So that being said you can’t really go wrong with either choice.

[@loki_jk2721]

I had this installed. However the installer left my factory stabilizer on.... should I go ahead and remove the factory one, and will it make things better or worse lol

[@extremeterrain]

I'd recommend removing your factory stabilizer, no need for all three! -Zach

[@loki_jk2721]

@@extremeterrain soooo will I notice a difference with it removed? Seeing as no need for 3!

[@TeamRegulate22]

Whats the reason u got it installed for? Also whats the difference u felt? Usually u remove old n replace with new no need fir 3

[@mikes3278]

Ubolts are 15mm

[@northernbushcraft1081]

I broken steering stabilizers can 100 percent cause death wobble literally anything that can cause extra movement in the suspension components

[@extremeterrain]

You 100% can develop a wobble once your steering damper gets worn out, but wobble is never caused by *only* a worn steering damper. If your stabilizer wears out and you develop wobble, there's likely other parts in your front end that are starting to wear as well (ball joints, tie rod ends, control arm bushings, track bar bushings, etc.) that your damper is just not masking anymore. A steering damper alone with never fix what needs to be replaced. Thanks for watching! -Zach

[@arielgs]

@@extremeterrain agree. Had a Cherokee XJ with new stabilizer, and death wobble was due to worn joints

[@typage5512]

Does it work with a factory height as in no lift?

[@extremeterrain]

Yes, this can be added with no lift! Thanks for watching! -Merideth
