Fox Shox PS Stabilizer IFP 98524173, Silver

This made a huge difference in steering feel. Pretty confident it is better than when it was new. I installed this AFTER I fixed my death wobble problem by getting new tires so I am expecting it to last. We'll have to see what the longevity is like but it's bound to last longer than OEM. It was an easy install. You can even do it with the Jeep on the ground or on ramps to get a bit more working room. Only catch is the provided bolt (must replace if you have the weird newer OEM one) has a 19mm head and a 18mm nut for some reason so that was a surprise. It's not perfectly neutral like the more expensive through designs but I didn't notice that driving... it's just noticeable installing because it wants to slowly expand after compressing it so it will fit.

The FOX steering stabilizer is a game-changer! It’s a night-and-day improvement over the factory part, providing instant feedback and a much smoother ride. Super easy to bolt on, looks incredible under the front end, and yes—it comes with that classic orange FOX sticker. Highly recommended!

I installed this on my 2020 JT Rubicon that a bought a few weeks ago. I am a previous owner of a JLU Sahara and wish I would have put this on that vehicle. The stabilizer absolutely makes the truck wander a lot less. I do a fair bit of highway driving and keeping the vehicle straight is a concern and this helps with that quite a bit. Is it perfect? No - but for $160.00 this is well worth the money and will make your distance driving experience quite better. The install took roughly 7-10 minutes and is very easy as others have stated. I did read a review to 'prime" the stabilizer by turning the wheel completely in both directions 5 times which I did. I am not sure how accurate that is but I am getting no pull and the part is working as it should.

Worked as designed

So far, I’m pleased with this thing. Had a terrible, VERY dangerous death wobble on my Jeep JLU with lift, offset wheels, and 35’s. Turned out to be a damaged Pitman Arm. Replaced that AND added a heavier adjustable Rock Jock track bar. My front axle was also somehow two inches out to one side from the lift install. The stock track bar was just too short after the lift. Pulled the axle back to center with the new adjustable track bar, adjusted steering components accordingly, realigned, and took the tire pressure from 30 to 40 pounds. All those problems had apparently put great stress on the steering components. Death wobble now gone, and steering MUCH better, BUT, even little pot holes STILL sent minor but annoying steering wheel wobble and bump steer. There was also uncomfortable, unresponsive road wandering, as it had right from the factory. Replaced the stock stabilizer with this Fox PS 98524173, and THAT pretty much fixed the last of the problems. This stabilizer is at least FIVE times stiffer to compress by hand than the stock one. It greatly reduced road wander, no more steering wheel tremors, and no more bump steer. Steering is slightly stiffer than stock, but noticeably more stable. I wouldn’t call it miraculous, and it still drives more like a truck than a sports car, but it feels and behaves just a whole lot safer and much more comfortable to drive.

Update 1/29/23: Today I took the Gladiator out in winds gusting 25 to 35 MPH and a crosswind to the Highway for the entire trip. The Gladiator handled wind very well all the way and ice part of the way, the truck handled much better and made for a much more relaxing drive with the new damper installed. The drive was very comfortable due to the much better tracking of the truck. I ran from Lakeview Oregon to Paisley Oregon and back to Lakeview on Highway 31 and am very happy with this upgrade. Why don't all the Rubicon's come with this steering dampers installed from the factory? They already have Fox shocks on these trucks one more Fox damper would be great. This damper is a high quality unit that is somewhat serviceable, meaning that the oil can be changed and if needed topped off. The body looks to be cast aluminum that has been machined down to its final shape. This did help my 2022 Gladiator's wandering issues on some of the rougher paved roads out here in Eastern Oregon. This install has helped to almost eliminate the amount of steering inputs needed to keep a straight track down the highway. The 2022 - 2023 Gladiator's now come from the factory with a steel steering box in place of the aluminum box of the 2020 - 2021 Gladiator's. I needed to turn down one of the damper bolts from square shoulder to a 12.88mm round shoulder so it would fit the small end of the new damper (see photo). I did leave a small part of the square shoulder so it fits the stock bracket's square hole on the right wheel end of the axle. Overall this is a good way to keep the Gladiator in a smooth straight line. I would recommend this to anyone that drives lots of highway miles.

Easy to install on 21 Gladiator took about 10 min

I have a 2018 Wrangler Rubicon JL that is stock other than the 35/12.5/17’s on 17x9-12mm steel rims that I put on it. I have under 35k miles, so everything is still relatively new. After the wheels/tires I started getting death wobble and I thought that was extremely odd. I’ve always known it to be a suspension issue. I decided the stock steering stabilizer wasn’t up to the task of the heavier wheels and tires so I decided to upgrade to the Fox stabilizer. Problem solved, and the steering just feels better all around. And the fact that it can be sent back to Fox to be rebuilt is a no brainer for me. Can always keep the stock stabilizer around for the downtime.

My car started pulling to the right and I thought it was the wheel alignment - so spent nearly AED1000 realigning my wheels with different service providers to finally realize that it’s this stabilizer that doesn’t work- either terrible product or terrible supplier- unfortunately I have crossed the return window and I don’t know if Amazon can help me with a refund which it should as it should not list faulty products or bad suppliers!

Product makes steering tighter and more stable on the road. Very noticeable difference and is a must have! No pulling like some people mentioned. If you’re thinking about this upgrade definitely go for it, you won’t regret it!
