Pulled off my old steering stabilizer and it was completely dead. Glad i didnt waste money on the local jeep shop because they swore up and down that there was no way that could be the problem.
Depending on driving habits and road conditions steering stabilizers don't have as long a life expectancy as some shops would have you believe, I check mine yearly and usually replace it after four or five years regardless.
Yeah i do all my own work i don't fucking trust shops. They only thing they can do is mount my tires and do an alignment cause I don't have the tools to do that. I religiously change my oil every 5k and just swapped all my diff trans and t-case fluids. Im going run that jeep until the engine blows
