Reviews for Teraflex 1513001 TERA 9550 VSS Steering Stabilizer for 97-18 Jeep Wrangler TJ & JK
I can’t believe I waited this long to do this! Have a JK with a 2.5” lift and 295/70r17s. I upgraded component after component on my suspension to make my ride feel smoother but I would always get a little bump steer and felt like I was wrestling the wheel at highway speeds. So I took the plunge on this product and holy $h** what a difference! Install was a snap, just be sure to mark the shock limit when fully extended and then when completely collapsed. You then want to find the mid point between those distances and then slide the mounting bracket on your tie rod left or right so that the steering stabilizer is centered. Had to move mine about an 1” to 1.5” toward the passenger tire side. After install turn your wheel stop to stop - you should not be anywhere near those max/min limits you marked. Great product don’t second guess your purchase decision.
Product is great and improved handling. Installation is virtually impossible without a pitman arm puller as the tapered end of the center bolt will not come loose. Checkout various youtube videos to save some frustration.
Installed on my 2009 wrangler in 15 mins. Works great!
I've had this for 18+ months now - works great and a huge upgrade over my stock stabilizer. Helped tighten up the front end and stop death wobble along with some other needed maintenance / replacements.
Good solid stabilizer. Mounted on a 2007 JK at same time that we installed a 2.5" lift and 34" tires. Jeep was in good shape with no major problems, but this makes it a pleasure to drive, especially at road speeds. I had to modify the factory bracket as indicated with a grinder because this is much larger diameter than the factory stabilizer.
It made a notiacble difference in reducing bumps and vibration in the steering wheel over my 11,000 mile old stock one with 35's.
money well spent. only had to move bracket 1 1/2" 45 minute job. smoothed the steering out-no longer fighting steering wheel shimmy
Solid replacement of the stock stabilizer. I changed mine out when I added a lift and the Front Adjustable Track Bar. The combination added some driving stability. It definitely feels less jittery on the road.
Really softened steering wheel feel and reduced driving fatigue. It didn't reduce my feel of control of the vehicle, but rather greatly improved it. We have a lot of brick roads around here and my steering wheel used to roll from side to side just driving down the street. There's a difference between feeling the road and getting beat up. Haven't had a chance to trail it yet, but that should be even softer than brick roads.
Got rid of death wobble...case closed!
