I made a new mount for my steering stabilizer from the previous one:


I took it off when I did the 3 link because it was contacting the trackbar bracket on up travel.

Here is the new one:



Yes I know it is not "NEEDED" however, it prevents wear on the joints and makes the front end feel a little tighter at high speeds.

Should've done the cool man's steering stabilizer.... hydro assist, just messing. I do want to do something with mine whether stabilizer or hydro assist though. Tired of it yanking so hard all the time and wandering a little.

I drive quite a bit on the road and hydro assit can be a little funny on the road.
I may still do Hydro Assit in future but this only cost me $25 so I figured why not try it first.

Thats pretty sweet. Never though of that. I made my own bracket and incorporated the plug and wire between two vertical plates. protects them from any contact. Only issue i may see is if the whole bracket comes off, but it has two rivets on the fender, and L-bracket behind the tail-light with 4 more rivets. I can shake my whole jeep from the CB antenna no problem.


P.S. Just read the whole thread in the last week. Im really impressed and jealous of the progress. With a growing family and I being the only one working, progress is very slow. Keep up the good work!

I voted for you, but it was a hard decision. Unidentified bomb is an old favorite... lucky he was 2 points ahead, so I leveled the playing field a little.

My steps for coil spring removal:

1) Place Jack Stands Under Front Frame
2) Pull Front Tires
3) Let the axle Droooooop

I agree it's a tough call
