FYI, my dealer had to order for me in a 5 pack. If anyone can't get one I'll be a supplier for 4 extras plus shipping!

For something that has to do with one of the most important components in your vehicle's operation and safety, I'd go with the real part and not home depot.
i thought that was my brakes lol

Thought on this after posting my thread on the ATS: AEV has a steering stabilizer they made with Bilstein that is a really fair price. No experience with it so don't know the performance.

But, I did install a Fox TS 2.0 on a JL and just put the ATS on the JT yesterday so the feeling is pretty fresh between the 2. Obviously it's like $200 vs $450 for starters. But, the ATS seems to have a much more stable feeling to the wheel not only side to side (loose feeling improvement?) but when turning the steering just seems to feel better with the ATS. Both are an improvement and depend on your wants I guess.

I will say the ATS has additional material that justifies the price increase to some degree, but it is still on the pricey side.

Relax,, I know what I'm doing.
Oh I am relaxed don’t you worry about that. I just mentioned it as I have seen many a farmer/shadetree mechanic repair in my days.
Good on you for getting the right bolt, was not aware you were on the ball, it’s hard to tell sometimes.?Stealerships make big money on overpriced parts.

Usually, but not always, you get what you pay for. Since the steering stabilizer is involved in such a contentious issue, why cheap out on it?

are you running the stock one then? If stock is working then I dont see why I should spend an extra 150 bucks for no reason. Thats almost enough for me to upgrade the general grabbers to the ko2s lol

Im using this, And find it a very good upgrade for the money, and the ease of install.

everybody I have been talking to says the Ko2 is the cats meow. And the grabbers are ok.
Interesting,, I've not heard anything bad about them.
And vetted all tires before my purchase. \
The Grabber ATX, took almost no weights when balancing.
And are comfortable and quiet.
