This is a photo of everything you will get with your new TeraFlex Jeep JK Wrangler heavy duty steering stabilizer. As you can see, you are essentially getting a beefier shock absorber and crush sleeves. |
 |
 |
 |
| 1. Park your Jeep JK Wrangler on level ground. Then, using an 18mm socket, remove the bolt securing your factory steering to the axle mount as shown. Be sure to find and set aside the flagged nut on the back of the mount. |
2. Depending on the condition of your tie road (i.e. bent inward), removing the steering stabilizer bolt may be somewhat of a challenge. If this is the case for you, use a pry bar to help lift the tie rod up enough to give you the clearance you need. |
3. Using an 18mm wrench, remove the nut securing the factory steering stabilizer to your Jeep JK Wranglers tie-rod as shown. |
 |
 |
 |
| 4. Remove the factory steering stabilizer off of your Jeep JK Wrangler. |
5. Take your new TeraFlex heavy duty steering stabilizer and install the provided crush sleeves into the bushings. |
6. Install the TeraFlex heavy duty steering stabilizer onto the tie rod mount on your Jeep JK Wrangler. |

 |
 |
| 7. Install the TeraFlex heavy duty steering stabilizer onto the axle mount on your Jeep JK Wrangler. |
8. Using the factory flagged nut an bolt, secure the TeraFlex heavy duty steering stabilizer to axle mount on your Jeep JK Wrangler. An 18mm wrench will be needed for this job. |
9. Using the factory nut, secure the TeraFlex heavy duty steering stabilizer to the tie rod mount on your Jeep JK Wrangler. An 18mm wrench will be needed for this job. |
And there you have it. Your Jeep JK Wrangler is now equiped with a beefier steering stabilizer and all with in minutes. Please let me know if you have any questions. |

15 min install, 10 times the quality of stock.
I just installed my stabilizer today and I had to adjust the bracket on the axle mount in order to keep the stabilizer from hitting the trackbar axle mount when turning the wheels to the passenger side. Has anyone else ran into this issue? It works fine now but the stabilizer hangs lower than the stock stabilizer.

I just installed a heavy duty Fabtech stabilizer today before seeing this post. I also had the same problem. I too adjusted the bracket so that my stabilizer would stop hitting the trackbar mount. How come yours works? Even worse now I am getting a little bit of vibration since I moved it. I’m starting to wonder if I should just buy a stock one again. Any ideas Wayoflife?
i can only assume that your stabilizer is much larger than stock. the teraflex stabilizer is just a bit larger. also, if your tie-rod is bent even just a little bit, that will cause your stabilizer to get closer to the track bar mount. either way, rotating the mount is a good way to get around this problem.
regarding vibration, can you be more specific? is it there all the time or just at certain speeds?
Rod should be to centre of the vehicle and the tube side of the damper to the wheel?
According to my Teraflex instructions this was installed backwards. The Teralex instructions says “Install your new steering stabilizer shock
with the body of the shock at the axle side
and the extended shaft end at the tie rod.
Reuse the factory hardware, torque to 45
Ft-lbs. Make sure that the stabilizer does
not hit the track bar mount.” On this write up it has the shock body on the tie rod end?
if you look at a factory stabilizer, you will see that the can is on the tie rod end. still, it really doesn’t matter which end goes where so long as it doesn’t catch the track bar mount.
Hmmm don’t get me wrong I was just saying what the instructions say and my steering stabilizer was actually with the shock body on the axle side maybe they switched this for some years mine is an ’07, or maybe whoever owned my Jeep before swapped it around. Thanks for the write ups I use them all the time :).
Anyone know if Jeep changed the OEM Tie rod clamp?
Can you tell me the part number used for a 2011 JK 2 door?
