    Welcome to the party, JLs. I'm calling BS on the fix. Everyone tries replacing the stabilizer first, it's the easiest "dart" to throw. IMO the only reason that is the problem on JLs is that they're too new to add steering joints, ball joints, bent axles, bent control arms, worn bushings, etc... to the list.

    I guess you could trade in the JK for a JL...

    A properly designed steering without worn parts should drive perfect without a steering stabilizer.

    Tru-Dat! I took the stabilizer off my Jeep many many years ago and never noticed any difference in regular driving. My understanding is the sole purpose is to prevent the steering wheel from jumping out of your hand in a really hard wheel collision (giant pot-hole or tree stump, etc...).
