OME Steering Stabilizer HELP!!!

GP MEHRD · Jan 13, 2008

I purchased this from Jeepinoutfitters.com and it came with 2 lock washers, one washer, 2 different size nuts, a spacer, and an odd looking bolt that goes through one of the ends. Shouldn't it have two of those or do they expect me to use the one off of the OEM stabilizer? If so, how do I remove it from the original.

Thanks guys. also. I won't be wheeling until it's replaced, how important is this to my handling on the road?

I recently got the OME steering stabilizer from quadratec. I used the stock nut and bolt on the axle side (iirc, I did this because the bolt was kind of stuck in the bracket so I figured why replace it) and I used the new nut (the odd looking one), bolt, and washer on the drag link side.

I would not drive around too much (if at all) with out the stabilizer but it probably wouldn't kill you.

Hope that helps.

Yeah I got the OME for my 99 and it installed just fine.

The Steering Stabilizer should make little difference in you handling - If it does, you've got bigger problems that need fixin'. . .

I've been driving mine for about a year now with no stabilizer. Maybe I should address that... hmmm

If you have been driving for a year without one that means your stuff is good and tight. They say if everything is good on the truck it should handle well without it. Some people think that installing a new damper is the cure for dw, etc. its not the cure, its a band aid. Yo chit b koo.
