steering stabilizer position?

I searched but didn't come up with an exact answer. I recently installed a Grand Cherokee steering system on my 2001 cherokee. Nothing has changed except a simple steering linkage swap (yes, got an alignment). Everythign is tight and responsive and actually I am quite pleased. However, i have noticed a slight difference in shiimy of the tires. I never put my stock steering stabilizer back on and was wondering if I should install one in the stock position or go ahead and place it on the new tierod?

Any thoughts? Obviously, I could go through trial and error, I just didn't know if in general the tierod position is better than the stock.

TIA

Did this include the quicker ration GC ZJ steering gear box? If so, did you use the ZJ Pitman arm?
 
Well, as everyone will say, the steering stabilizer is just a band aid, that will hide problems that do exist. Chances are if you have a shimmy, the stabilizer will just cover it up, rather than fix it.

Are you sure they aligned it properly?
