Had my steering damper replaced today.

If that is the bulge we are looking for, it appears to be on top.

Yes. This is a picture of it installed incorrectly.

It can be confusing at first however, it just needs to be rotated they’ve never had these come out with incorrect stickers... the “bulge” on updated ones are usually dotted with green or white dot and that’s what faces down

Mine had a slight wobble after hitting a bump at highway speed The dealer put in a new superseded part number damper and was ok for about a week The wobble came back Then I opened up a star case and they reimbursed me to put in a fox stabilizer and it has been great since I got the recall notice last week and there is no way I am going to put in another mopar stabilizer The fox one works great and I know it was put in correctly because I put it in myself

Can we see a pic of the fox properly installed?

Had mine done today as well ... correctly.

Got mine installed yesterday. Just double checked, installed correctly.
Steering behavior over potholes has improved. Fingers crossed.

Going to call to schedule the work tomorrow.

Have a case number from FCA Technical dept (not Jeep cares) and
we will see what else gets done to help the steering issue

If you're looking for a grade, I would definitely say F = FAIL!!!!

Called Monday when I got my notice. They're back ordered for 10wks, I'm on a list to come in once they're receive them and install in order of the clients on the list. I'll be sure to double check for correct install

Do your Jeep a favor and remove that piece of junk and get a real one.......especially if you have changed to bigger tires or plan on doing so at some point in the future. Get better shocks as well. Even a $50 Rancho RS5000X is better than the stock shocks.

That’s odd. My dealer had seven of them in stock when I had mine done. I took it off a week later and replaced it with the Falcon adjustable and I love it.

Agree this is weird. My little dealership here has multiple of them.

Green dot shows the “bulge” they explain about and where that should be located

My dealer is getting 1 per week and i am on a list. Probably be lucky to get in by Halloween. I just ordered one from moparpartagiant and will install it myself since FCA will reimburse you for the part. It was only $40 shipped.
