Factory like fitment with OE taper pin and lock nut are found with the Dual 1-ton forged and heat treated Rod-Ends, they have extra strength right where it is needed and are designed to control directional misalignment to prevent Drag Link flop. Sealed with Durable rubber grease boots, the ends are simple to service via zerk fittings.

Steering Stabilizer Mount

Stabilizer Relocation

The MetalCloak JK Steering Stabilizer, Axle Side Mount relocates the axle side of the steering stabilizer to better protect the steering stabilizer from debris by moving the stabilizer up and out of harms way from where the factory steering stabilizer is mounted. Simple to install using existing factory holes for a bolt on application.

Fox Steering Stabilizer

The Fox 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 Fox 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.
