Two dealerships say its due to my bent Steering Stabilizer, im not completely convinced. But they also offered me this nice near 10K Repair bill.

I Have a New steering Stab on the way so we will see!


Here is that axle killing bend...

That video is hilarious! The bill, not so much.

You did all that damage on one trail ride? Hey, at least it's in Canadian dollars.

Oof. That SUCKS! Take out an equity loan on the Jeep to fix it I guess ...

Probably a year of hard wheeling.

out of all that "damage" the only one things that are bad are the Steering Stab and the rear shock. the bends and dents are really minor and its just a dealership trying to cash grab...

Trying to get the rear shocks done under my extended warranty since its onyl at 62K Km

Thanks for sharing that repair estimate sheet from the dealership. WOW.

the transfer skid is a ~$100 part, they want $1380 to replace it?

transmission pan + fluids is a < $200 part as well, and they want $892 to replace it?

Same for the other parts...

What is the dealership smoking. How are labor costs so insane these days?

Exact Center by Roadmaster will not fix Death Wobble but in tests, it stopped the movement Death Wobble needs (first Ossicilation) so it can not happen, no fix it just keeps it from happening.
Watch the video, see how Death Wobble is stopped, see the mechanics of the device in the animation. This is the base version we have done 330 psi units on 40000 lb class A diesel pushers at that pressure nothing except power steering can override the hold. A very simple idea that could save the straight axle. https://www.roadmasterinc.com/products/rss/exactcenter.php
