Fox ShoxPS Stabilizer IFP 98524173, Silver

I have a 2018 Wrangler Rubicon JL that is stock other than the 35/12.5/17’s on 17x9-12mm steel rims that I put on it. I have under 35k miles, so everything is still relatively new. After the wheels/tires I started getting death wobble and I thought that was extremely odd. I’ve always known it to be a suspension issue. I decided the stock steering stabilizer wasn’t up to the task of the heavier wheels and tires so I decided to upgrade to the Fox stabilizer. Problem solved, and the steering just feels better all around. And the fact that it can be sent back to Fox to be rebuilt is a no brainer for me. Can always keep the stock stabilizer around for the downtime.

10 minute install. Great product!

Installed on my 22 rubicon JL with the relocation mount. Fixed my death wobble when I would hit bumps. Death wobble can be from many things in the suspension. This just so happen to be my problem. I’m running 35’s with the Mopar 2”lift.

Well worth the upgrade over the stock stabilizer on my 21 Jeep Gladiator on 37s. Made a noticeable difference.

Update 1/29/23: Today I took the Gladiator out in winds gusting 25 to 35 MPH and a crosswind to the Highway for the entire trip. The Gladiator handled wind very well all the way and ice part of the way, the truck handled much better and made for a much more relaxing drive with the new damper installed. The drive was very comfortable due to the much better tracking of the truck. I ran from Lakeview Oregon to Paisley Oregon and back to Lakeview on Highway 31 and am very happy with this upgrade. Why don't all the Rubicon's come with this steering dampers installed from the factory? They already have Fox shocks on these trucks one more Fox damper would be great.This damper is a high quality unit that is somewhat serviceable, meaning that the oil can be changed and if needed topped off. The body looks to be cast aluminum that has been machined down to its final shape.This did help my 2022 Gladiator's wandering issues on some of the rougher paved roads out here in Eastern Oregon. This install has helped to almost eliminate the amount of steering inputs needed to keep a straight track down the highway. The 2022 - 2023 Gladiator's now come from the factory with a steel steering box in place of the aluminum box of the 2020 - 2021 Gladiator's.I needed to turn down one of the damper bolts from square shoulder to a 12.88mm round shoulder so it would fit the small end of the new damper (see photo). I did leave a small part of the square shoulder so it fits the stock bracket's square hole on the right wheel end of the axle.Overall this is a good way to keep the Gladiator in a smooth straight line. I would recommend this to anyone that drives lots of highway miles.

So far, I’m pleased with this thing.Had a terrible, VERY dangerous death wobble on my Jeep JLU with lift, offset wheels, and 35’s. Turned out to be a damaged Pitman Arm.Replaced that AND added a heavier adjustable Rock Jock track bar. My front axle was also somehow two inches out to one side from the lift install. The stock track bar was just too short after the lift. Pulled the axle back to center with the new adjustable track bar, adjusted steering components accordingly, realigned, and took the tire pressure from 30 to 40 pounds. All those problems had apparently put great stress on the steering components.Death wobble now gone, and steering MUCH better, BUT, even little pot holes STILL sent minor but annoying steering wheel wobble and bump steer. There was also uncomfortable, unresponsive road wandering, as it had right from the factory.Replaced the stock stabilizer with this Fox PS 98524173, and THAT pretty much fixed the last of the problems.This stabilizer is at least FIVE times stiffer to compress by hand than the stock one. It greatly reduced road wander, no more steering wheel tremors, and no more bump steer. Steering is slightly stiffer than stock, but noticeably more stable.I wouldn’t call it miraculous, and it still drives more like a truck than a sports car, but it feels and behaves just a whole lot safer and much more comfortable to drive.

This fixes the loose feeling in the factory steering. the JL should've never left the factory without this level of damping that the Fox stabilizer gives it. must have for Wrangler JL.

Bought this for my Jeep. Way better than stock. Tightened up the steering and less of the bump steering that I had. Looks great as it now matches all my others. Easy to install and a nice upgrade.
