Steering Stabilizer
 

Will a steering stabilizer help with me jeeps loose handling and wondering problem? :dunno:

thanks!

Yes and no, for the most part if you have a wondering issue there is something else going out. Mine had a wondering issue than I found the steering box was sloppy.

The stabilizer will help a little but look for the real problem don't band-aid it....

i'm hoping it is the steering box, and i can adjust it. but idk.
and it doesn't wonder like your thinking. it's just hard to keep it straight b/c of the sloppiness in the steering. since the response is so bad it's hard to get it to correct. of it it does i'll over correct it... that type of thing.

can i adjust the steering box? and how?

There's a link on here under a Death Wobble.. I'll see if I can find it.

Also, inspected the shaft under the hood from the fire-wall to the steering box. The U-joints in it can break/ware causing the same prob. If that is the case you have to replace the shaft, ($90-$125) ..

it says page not found on your link.

and thanks for the info!

Here I copy and pasted a incomplete link....

lol cool thanks

It would be a good idea to check your stabilizer anyway. Mine was completely useless, there was no tension in it at all.

Mine is just barely lose. Not enough to make a big difference but I do know its there. Is that a sign?

Vibration on the high way? Steering Stabilizer?
 

Will a steering stabilizer cause a vibration at high way speeds around 70 mph, and not at lower speeds? I just got a 1998 Cherokee Sport 4X4, and have inspected all the steering and suspension parts. It drives smooth on city streets even at around 60 mph, but when I get on the high way it has a vibration at around 70 mph and above.

i had a def hob and it was the stearing stab and the stearing box check them and u should be fine

Have your alignment and tire balance checked. Deathwobble usually happens at around 45 to 50 mph.

Got new tires and alignment today.... fixed the problem :)

Thanks,

"Play"
 

Will a steering stabilizer help with play in the steering? Ive never used one and honestly have zero to no idea how they actually help.

I had mine on my 2000 WJ disconnected for a week and didn't notice any difference in handling what so ever.
