Loose steering feels like it has play and drifts

[FatBoy01]

I did PM them here,they said to use their instructions as their shock has a larger diameter and needs to be mounted that way for clearance.

That makes no sense to me... The stock stabilizer appears to be way larger in diameter then any part of the RC steering stabilizer. Wonder if "they" that esponded to you, has a clue or just taking the directions for granted.

I just looked under mine as well, you're right, stock looks bigger and hangs lower than the pic of the RC one.

I would agree that based upon pictures, the RC shock looks no begger than stock. I looked back at the PM so that I would be sure that I didn't misrepresent what the RC message said. Here is the exact quote when I asked about their instructions showing their shock 180 from the stock setup.

"Yes that is correct. Due to the larger body of the shock it needs more clearance than the OE setup."

Video of how to install

@Rough Country Suspensions

This video shows install opposite of your instructions. Please explain why your instructions are not in error.
Also, your competitors steering stabilizers are all installed opposite of your directions.

Ok, I just got an email back from the Sales Supervisor of RC. He will be coming here to post later..

Here is the content of the email I just received:

"Instructions are not wrong, we wanted it run with the body to the axle side. Can it be flipped around? Sure. It technically performs the same way, we just wanted more clearance for the body. I will post on the forums later, I have ball practice for my daughter tonight."

In regard to my post above where I quoted the RC, Sales Supervisor. He replied to me after his normal work hours and within minutes of my sending him an email pointing him to this thread and asking what the heck... Anyway, rapid reply to me.... Very good CS !

I accept his answer.

Personally, if I were going to install the RC Steering Stabilizer or similar stabilizer's, I would install just as shown in the CJ Off Road video and opposite the RC instructions.

RC also offers a dual stabilizer for the JL. Made for lift and larger tires. Wonder how well that would work.

See Post #108

Is one available? Link?

Thanks for confirming. I think I’ll flip it to CJ style.

It can be run either way. We just noted more clearance with the body run to the axle side. Have a great day guys!

My steering is really bad and PSI is 44.5. How low should I go?

Wow that's really high. I'm near 36-37 psi (cold, 80 F at sea level)

What will it feel like if it's too low?
