Fox steering stabilizer ATS 2.0

[Makrie]

Hi,

First post wish me luck.

I have a 2023 Gladiator Mojave with about 600 miles. So being new to solid front axles I found our one short trip to be tiring since steering input is required so regularly. I researched the topic and I chose the Fox ATS 2.0 since they sorta match the stock Mojave factory components. I looked at the company's website and found listings through 2022 have the same part number for JL's & JT's . I took the chance nothing had changed. I was wrong, nothing to hard to overcome but if you have a 2023 Gladiator Mojave this might save you some time. I can't speak for any other 2023 models.

The new/old part required is:

6510774AA​

Shoulder Square Neck Bolt, Right Hand Drive​

The carriage bolt that attaches the stabilizer to the steering knuckle has been improved? The engineers have extended the square portion of the bolt half the length of the stabilizer's bushing. I'm sure the stock stabilizer has a new part number as well but didn't confirm. If you have an earlier style bolt in hand the installation is relatively easy.

Note: I found with the stock suspension height clocking the reservoir at about 11:00 o'clock looking towards the passenger tire provided the most clearance from lock to lock.

Hopefully you'll find this useful if interested in this particular part.

Welcome to the club. LOL

Now check all of your components for proper torques.
These things are notorious for coming with loose fasteners from the factory.
Pitman Arm Nut
Ball Joints
Track Bar Bolts
Drag Link Bolts
Control Arms Bolts
Swaybar Link Bolts (one of my rear ones fell out)

If you REALLY want the Mojave to handle well toss either geometry correction brackets or extended control arms on it for slightly more caster.

The Mojave is under-castered from the factory.

No problem. Here are all of the torque specs.

The others aren't far behind..................
IMO the other levels would be better served if they at least had the quarter inch longer LCAs from the factory. It's one of the first things I did on my Overland. It was fine from the factory, but........ at the bottom of the spec range. That means almost anything else done would drag it below the botto.

With this stabalizer installed do you noticed a difference in the steering?

 

[Makrie]

I just installed today. Took a short test drive and it seemed more stable...or maybe it's the placebo effect. I set the adjustment to the 12th click which is half-way. May play with a little stiffer for long highway trips. That said I'm confident in the long-term it should make trips less tiring.

Where did you get this and what all did your order for the stock Mojave setup?

 

[Makrie]

Amazon has the best price right now. The bolt is described with MOPAR part number in the middle of op. Pictures shows old and new for comparison.
