The stabilizer comes with a simple to use six-position adjustment knob to change the compression settings with ease, no tools required. Choose from 6 settings that add an additional 10% compression force at each click to tune in your Gold Standard. The adjustment knob provides precise tuning to match vehicle setup and driving conditions. Whether dialing in lighter damping for daily driving or firmer control for oversized tires and aggressive terrain, adjustments can be made quickly without removing the stabilizer.
The steering stabilizer reservoir can be clocked to accommodate unique clearance requirements, making it ideal for custom suspension layouts and high articulation builds. This flexibility allows optimal fitment around track bars, tie rods, and other steering components without compromising performance or travel.
The shaft is finished in a titanium nitride coating (TiN) to reduce friction and wear at the sealing surfaces, resulting in a smoother operation as well as improved longevity. The low-friction surface allows the stabilizer to react quickly to steering inputs and impacts, delivering consistent damping while standing up to dirt and repeated high-load cycles.
The Stabilizer Body is finished in a mil-spec type III HARD anodized black infinity finish for durability in harsh environments. It provides increased resistance to corrosion, abrasion, and trail debris while maintaining a clean, understated look.
The Stabilizer comes with a two piece designed, CNC formed, aluminum billet tie rod mount. the mount was designed specifically for the MetalCloak tie rod for the Jeep JK/JL/JT but will fit any 1.625" OD or 1.75" OD tie rod. The tie rod mount has recessed bolt hole locations to protect the hardware from damage and is finished in a anodized black for a clean look.
The RockSport Black Steering Damper is proudly made in the USA, ensuring consistent quality, precision manufacturing, and reliable performance. It is designed for a quick and easy installation, allowing it to bolt on with minimal effort so you can get back on the road or trail in no time.
Note: Hardware supplied mounts to OE track bar bracket on axle end. If using a high steer bracket, different hardware to match your application may be required.

Billet Mount Captured Bolt Design

The RockSport Black Steering Stabilizer uses a through-bolt tie rod mount captured by a nut rather than threaded aluminum, eliminating thread loading to reduce stress risers and improve long-term durability. When installed, the bolt is positively captured by the tie rod and top-side nut to prevent the clamp bracket from becoming unsecured. A retained spherical bearing inside the clamp supports the bolt, allowing smooth articulation while isolating clamp forces from the aluminum mount.
