Daystar KU01019 Heavy Duty Replacement Steering Stabilizer

Installed on Jeep wrangler 2009 2 door, Was experiencing some mid to high speed highway shake (not quite death wobble quality) after replacing my ball joints / steering gearbox, and axle rods as preventive measure I noticed the issue wasn't quite resolved however I didn't want to spend a lot of money on a replacement that I was not sure was quite needed after doing the latter. However I noticed a significant improvement in handling quality right off install. Tightened my steering up and completely removed my highway instability. Now I give 5 stars because I believe for the price that this is the most affordable Aftermarket Stabilizer for the OEM mounting system that has operating quality that isn't total garbage as far as ride quality. However the quality isn't as good as the fox and old man emu systems ive ran on my rock crawlers. But if your looking at this product you really don't need that quality on your daily driver if you don't abuse it. For those looking into being more of a DIY jeeper This is an easy install 10-15 mins max. Which can be achieved with basic hand tools (if you dont have a wrench set you could use some pliers just expect more patience and frustration but its possible) I personally Recommend not installing the shock boot as ive never removed one and had it not filled with dirt / mud inevitably leading to the seal failing causing premature shock death. but personal preference.

Seems to be ok. It fit on the Jeep JK. Went on good. Used new Grade 8 bolt on frame side as Jeep bolt was metric and a little smaller. Good quality, only I had to paint the ends white to match the shock body. This one must have accelerated through the paint booth as paint was tin on the ends. The decal went on good. came with black boot. The black boot is too small length wise. Everytime you go left, it pops of the shock body. No Lift. The steering stabilizer is made in mexico. Amazon leaves that info out on the description.

Good fit for my 2007 Jeep Wrangler JK. The Daystar stabilizer barrel diameter is a little larger than the factory steering stabilizer. The larger diameter may cause the bushing end on the right side to not seat in the bracket properly. No problem, simply loosen the stabilizer mounting bracket (4 nuts) and rotate it down slightly until the bushing end slips into place in the fixed mounting bracket on the right side. Also, the nut on the right side mounting bolt has a little bracket welded to it. Do not attempt to remove the nut. Turn the bolt to loosen, leaving the nut in place. The tab will keep the nut from turning as you loosen the bolt. When you put it back together screw the bolt into the nut. Unless you have a hydraulic press handy, use a vice to press the provided rubber bushings into each end of the new steering stabilizer, then push the metal inserts in by hand. Total install time, including clean up, was about one hour.

Junk. When I was moving it back and forth by hand, it takes a second for it to start resisting after changing direction. That seemed like a bad thing intuitively but I didn’t learn until later that it would basically render it useless. Not knowing at the time weather it was supposed to be that or not, I installed it because the price was right and I was hoping it would be “good enough” for my light duty off-road use. Nope. After driving it on various roads and off roads at various speeds, it doesn’t seem to be very effective. Idk. I just ordered two Teraflex steering stabilizers from Quadratrc for $55 ea (on sale) along with the Rubicon Express dual stabilizer bracket kit. We’ll see if that feels better. I’m also going to install AEV’s front control arm geometry correction brackets since I have the 2” AEV lift installed on my Jeep JKU. Hopefully these things will better address the slight bump-steer at high speed and reduce steering wheel feedback from washboard roads at low speed.

I smashed my old factory one while off-roading and drove with a bad one for a little but I started to get a bit of bump steer and slight death wobble that would quickly correct itself. Decided it was a good time to get a new stabilizer and this had good reviews along with knowing a couple people who had this already so I picked it up. I now have had zero bump steer issues other than the inherent fact that this is a large lifted vehicle and its going to happen regardless but its been lessened a lot. There is also no signs of the death wobble occurring so safe to say this has done its job.

Easy to put on. Look pretty good on my Jeep JK. I can not tell and difference in steering though

HUGE difference! Added a 2.5 inch lift and 33” mudstars nowhere near death wobble but have wobble, completely eliminated all wobble especially at highway speed and steering is much much tighter. As far as I am concerned performs as well a the pricy stabilizers. Extremely satisfied!!! The best part is that it only took minutes to change.

Very easy to install on my 2012 Wrangler Sport 2 Door. Took a break from installing my leveling kit & shocks to mess with this, and had it installed within 10 minutes. I looks great under the Jeep, especially with the factory plastic air dam removed and the added 2 inch height from the leveling kit. I give it four stars only because I feel no noticeable difference when driving with the stock 225/75/16 tires, which I had on roughly a week, before putting 285/75/16 tires with aftermarket wheels. Still feels like no discernible changes have been made with how the Jeep handles, but it does looks pretty cool.

Does the job exactly as it should . Price is competitive as well .

completely eliminated my death woble and goes with my lift kit

Good product

No rubber boot as pictured Only reason I bought it However I needed it so it’s installed with no cover for the dampening rod Contacted dpi

Easy install .does its job.
