steering stabilizer question

[LittleD]

I was driving the jeep with out a steering stabilizer but when i accelerated hard,i could feel the tires wobble. So i put in the spare stabilizer i had lying around and it is to long. when i turn my wheels right, it fully compress at about half turn and is fine turning left. is there a piece out there to move the pin for the stabilizer farther up? or would i be better off buying a new stabilizer? i was thinking about cutting the pin and welding a jig to move the pin farther, any ideas?

get the right size stablizer?

how much lift do you have? on stock steering i assume? the taller you go the more of an angle your drag link is and that might be bringing the ss mounting points slightly closer to one another.

anyways...



i havent had a stabilizer in about 3 years.

make sure your caster is in check and the rest of your front end is tight.

if everything is 100% fine, your tires are out of balance or out of round.

steering stabilizers are there to mask minor imperfections in the front end.

5.5 lift, had a stabilizer on the jeep originally but when i took the old one off and the new one on, this happened

you shouldnt have stock steering at 5.5" of lift

i have a drop down bracket to help my angles, one ton will be coming in the future

drop pitman arm?

i have never heard of steering stabilizer length issues.

are you sure its from an xj?

track bar drop down i think. Stabilizer came with the jeep.

ill take some pics tommarow to show the problem more clearly

tomorrow im gonna eyeball the tow and see if some adjustments will fix the wobble

that does nothing for the steering angles

i searched the internet last night, but wasn't able to stumble acrosse a stabilizer for my lift height. does anyone know a place that sells one for a 5.5 in lift?

junk your stock steering, forget about your stabilizer, and buy my one ton setup once i build a new set to accomodate my crossover steering

buy a stock one from autozone. it will be fine. 30 bucks and lifetime guaranty... on my xj they replaced mine every time i would dent it or blow it.
