Hey alexxx,
Have the rest of your front end/steering components checked. Steering damper COULD be just a band-aid fix for other worn parts. Also get your wheel balance checked (all 4).

you need to make sure you really follow the mounting instructions when putting on the spacers. If you just through them on and don't tighten in the proper star pattern the spacer will not be centerend properly and it can cause the wobble your talking about.

Correct and don't bother with the new stabilizer. If it didn't shake before you put the spacers on then its either a wheel balance or one of the spacers is not on properly... Make sure all the brake rotor retaining clips (one on each wheel stud) were removed before installing the spacers.
