Steering stabilizers... Which brand do you like?

[MobyJR]

I'm thinking about going with the Bilstein 5100 HD stabilizer. Who's running the Bilstein and how do you like it? I'm open for suggestions/advice. Thanks guys.

I'm running the 5100 stabilizer and have no complaints

Good. It looks like a nice one. The reason I want a good one is because I'm getting a slight left to right shimmy after hitting bumps in the road. It's far from death wobble, but still quite noticeable and I don't want to damage my front end so I'm thinking of combining this stabilizer with a beefier tie rod and better drag link. But that'll be a little later. I'm not keen on steering but I'm hoping this will be enough of a preventative measure to keep my Jeep riding good and not break anything or get death wobble.

I hope I'm right. I've got a completely stock steering set up as of now. I'm on 305/70's (34's) so I think some strengthening might be in order.

If you have a shimmy a stabilizer is not the way to go. You need to check everything in your front end. You should be able to drive without a stabilizer and be fine.

Your just going to mask the problem with a stabilizer.

That's kind of what I was afraid of. What are some things you'd recommend checking first?

Running without one right now.

I'll throw the stock one back on until I get steering assist. I wouldn't bother with any of the after market ones. A lot of people get them and then can't figure out why there jeep pulls to the left.

Is your jeep stock or modified?

Are your draglink and trackbar parallel (or close to parallel) to each other?

Check your track bar bolts.
