I've changed my steering stab to a Falcon and better shocks ......its noticeable. No more flubber/shudder when crossing bridge seams and the ride is more controlled as needed with heavier tires than stock.I would totally disagree. They're a lot of us here running 37s and 38s with stock. Upgrading the steering stabilizer should be at the bottom of any JL build.
How would you grade the shop according to this photo?

Nah, me too. I'm not going in for it, my '19 is fine right now with 38's.Is it just me that I don't want anyone to touch my vehicle or even replace it since I'm not having any issues?
What do you mean by " < 100 miles since fix"? Were you driving with the stabilizer incorrectly installed, or did you drive 100 miles after they corrected the error?Well-
Had dealership in MN replace last week!
They installed sticker pointing to back of Jeep with ābumpāon the top.
Less than 100 miles since fix.
Hit a man-hole cover today under 30mph, very quickly became educated on what death wobble feels like. No difference than grabbing the agitator on a top load washing machine!!!
Took my 225lbs off the seat and did not stop shaking till I came to complete stop.
Called dealership, they are reinstalling new one again tomorrow.
My Grandfathers voice is resonating in my head today saying āDonāt fix something that is not brokenā!
Arrggghhhh!!!!!
Did original recall fix last week after receiving letter in mail 2 weeks ago. It took 6 days and <100 miles before this new steering damper was junk because it was not installed correctly.What do you mean by " < 100 miles since fix"? Were you driving with the stabilizer incorrectly installed, or did you drive 100 miles after they corrected the error?
I'm not indicating either is reason you got the wobbles... but if this is your second go-round with the "upgraded" stabilizer, hopefully you'll check the install before you drive off.
This is part of the reason I am on the fence, aside I'm skeptical of this helping a DW. I think they are doing this to make people feel like they are getting something for all those unhappy about the steering itself. Maybe a cheap way to get folks off their back and toss them a bone.. who knows.Well-

Yikes! Thank you for sharing this. My steering is fine, and has been for 22,000 miles. I will not be getting this recall service done until/unless Iāve got a good reason. Your grandfather sounds like a wise man.Well-

No. Jeep recognized there was an issue that could be solved by replacing the stabilizer. Prior to this, if an owner came to the same conclusion and had to come out of pocket for an aftermarket stabilizer they will reimburse because Jeep didnāt have a resolution.Hello Mark, are those of us who are mechanically inclined still OK to buy an aftermarket unit and get reimbursement from FCA?
