I love my Falcon Nexus 2.2. IMO through-shaft is the only way to go. The Nexus 2.2 is nice because it is adjustable. Soft for off-roading, Medium for daily driving, and Firm for highway road trips.

I'll second this. It made a world of difference in my Jeep. I seriously considered the Fox one as well but in the end the Fox had 22 different adjustments but no way to tell where you were at. I wanted the simplicity of only three and an easy visual representation. I've been very pleased with it.

I just installed a non adjustable Fox ATS, and I really like it. No pulling, shimmy, or bump steer. Longevity is too soon to tell.

As the owner of a single-setting 2.1, I have to ask: REALLY how often do you actually switch away from the middle setting? :) [just yanking your chain]

To the OP: if you get anything but a through-shaft design you are inviting a small, but steady pull to the side. Been there.

While my tires are deflating when off-roading I switch it to soft and when airing up I switch it back. If I am taking a road trip or if my wife is going to drive the Jeep I switch it to firm to easier keep in the lane at high speeds. I daily drive it 80% of the time so it stays in medium 80% of the time, but I actually do change it the other 20% of the time, and it does make a difference.

Just ordered this one.

The description says “Adjustable Through Shaft (ATS) architecture cancels opposing steering forces, resulting in increased steering control in any situation. Moreover, it has 24 clicks of adjustment, so you can easily fine tune the stabilizer for feel depending on your terrain. Additionally, the integrated reservoir allows for additional fluid capacity and improves cooling during extreme use and heavy operation.”

I'm not 100% but I think that's the one the op has. He don't like.

I couldn’t tell what OP means by worn out at pinch bracket? It’s loose or leaking? Does it have trail damage? Photos would definitely help.

Can you post a picture? I'm curious I have one and haven't noticed anything unusual.
Here is a pic of the issue. The bracket that mounts to the steering shaft is shot where it clamps onto the steering stabilizer. I'm looking for different options because I can't see spending $450 for another fox stabilizer when I'm sure tis will happen again in a few years.

I'm running a Falcon. On the middle setting 95% of the time. You can definitely feel the difference when you adjust. Firm is nice on longer trips and soft when off-road.

For the peoples running the falcon, is it true it will not fully re-center ?
Also is this a issue on the Fox thru shaft ?

24 clicks of adjustment? Do they think this is for a Formula One car? :)
I can see maybe 5.

I see the crack in the bracket but the bolt with washer looks different than on the website. Did you modify it? Or maybe fox made a new version?

That's is just a scratch. I installed a different bolt due to the stock socket head bolt stripping out when I removed it.
