I have a 98 Cherokee classic i'm trying to figure out the difference's between a stabilizer and a damper? the one i'm speaking of is on the front in connected to the power steering motor. the jeep has 154k on it from looking at it, it looks to be worn out? i'm have a steering problem at very low rpm turn into a parking spot drive way etc. thanks in advance for any help!!!!

What kind of steering problem, wheel hard to turn?

Sounds like a bad pump... I'm kinda confused but what I did grasp sounded like a bad steering pump

The stabilizer, also known as the damper, is a front end part that looks like a small shock absorber.

It is NOT attached to the power steering pump. Your problem sounds more related to the power steering system.

thanks for the replys, yes its hard to turn the wheel at very low rpm like turn into a parking spot or drive way. the pump was replaced prior to me buying it but the pump was a used one. i flushed the system but it is still hard to turn.
