  • Steer Clear of Stabilizer Trouble on Wrangler JKs

    JKS Manufacturing introduces a smart solution to keep your steering stabilizer out of harm’s way

    Alliance, NE – January 2011: The last place you want to lose maneuverability is on the trail, where diagnosing and repairing the problem is often impossible. Nevertheless, this unfortunate occurrence affects Wrangler JK owners more often than you might expect. The problem involves the factory mounting location of the steering stabilizer, which is immediately forward and well below the centerline of the front axle. This leaves the steering stabilizer defenseless against impact damage, and therefore is a disaster waiting to happen.

    The Jeep specialists at JKS Manufacturing have identified this hazard and developed a solution that optimizes steering stabilizer performance while keeping it out of harm’s way. The Steering Stabilizer Relocation Bracket is a heavy-duty, high-clearance bracket that positions the stabilizer in a much safer location where limited ground clearance and contact with obstacles are no longer a concern for the driver.
