TJ/LJ Specific OE Bolt Taper - Secure mount

Optional RockSport Steering Stabilizer and Mount Kit

The RockSport Steering Stabilizer is specifically tuned for Jeep applications and will reduce bump-steer and vibration better than the OE factory part.

Designed for the rigors of a lifted Jeep that is equipped with over sized off-road tires, the RockSport Steering Stabilizer is a fantastic upgrade for Jeeps that stay on the road or go all out when off-roading.

This will reduce the damaging vibration that shortens the life of ball joints, bushings, and other front end components.
