Is their any way to get rid of the connect part in the steering? I want to have a bar go from the pitman arm to the knuckle and then from that knuckle to the other side. Is that possible to do and still work right. The pic shows what I want to get rid of.

Ok with the serious steering kit I notices that there wasn't a place for a steering stabilizer? Or is it just that particular jeep that it's on in the pic?

I can get the brackets but on a properly aligned and maintained front end you don't need one. It's a band-aid that masks other problems with your front end.

really?

No, I just make this stuff as I go along....



Yes Really.
Steering Dampeners are simply not needed.

Well the reason im looking at this setup is because 1 I'm want a better steering system and 2 my steering is shot so if I won't need the dampener after I put this on the that good for me.

i did not know this...
why are all these trucks built with em then?

Good question.

Steering Dampeners are basically a shock with 50/50 valving, they dampen road feel. Soccer-moms and non-wheelers love that.

Dampeners do not prevent death wobble but they do mask the symptoms that develop before full blown death wobble occurs.


They give you a warm fuzzy, not much more.

They do bandaid issues. But after having a ZJ without one (with no issues at all), I like the feel of my other ZJ with one.. It's just a tighter feeling. I don't really care to feel every little imperfection in the road. It's just a personal preference thing.
