Your steering box is probably the real culprit here.

Have you contacted your dealer? There is a Tech bulletin calling for an upgrade.

yea the issue isnt the steering stabilizer anyhow 😂 get on that lawsuit where they have to provide front steering warranty for 7years at no cost.

Do dealership checked everything and said everything looked good. Their recommendation was fox steering shock, tires balance and rotation, alignment and passenger drag link end. Wants 1200 bucks

Participants in the class action get 8 yrs or 90k miles to "cover all parts and labor needed to replace a failed front suspension steering damper".
