Steering Stabilizer
I was not one of the ones with steering problems. My JT was responsive and happy from the get-go. I turned the wheel, even just a little bit, and the tires turned appropriately. But all you folks scared me. Everyone talking about how horrible their steering was. So during a sale I picked up a Teraflex Falcon Nexus UE 2.2 Fast Adjust Steering Stabilizer from River City Offroad for just under $300.
You're going to want a good torque wrench in the middle range to install this. It will take a good hour and you're going to get greasy and you're going to curse occasionally. Watch the install video on Teraflex's website and just take your time. It's actually pretty easy, assuming you don't misunderstand and remove something you didn't need to remove and then crush your hand with a wrench while you're trying to put it back. There is definitely a trick to getting it in the right place for the final bolt installation.
Once installed, this steering stabilizer offers three different steering options: Firm, Medium, and Soft. I've also heard them described as "Highway", "Around Town", and "Off-Road". Just reach down and flip the lever, switching between the options is as easy as can be. One note, though: the word you see from the front of the car is NOT the word it's pointing to. You'll quickly realize that the selected option is the one pointing UP, not the one pointing FORWARDS.
