Re: bouncy front end
No one, not me, no one has said or recommended that it SHOULD be
removed, only that it COULD be removed without problem if everything
else in the front-end was working and set up as the factory designed it.
Since you hadn't caught on to that nuance yet when this thread first
started, many of us only tried to educate you that replacing the
steering dampener would not help fix the bouncy front end as you
suggested it would. Newbies and clueless old-farts are always
suggesting replacing the steering dampener to fix problems that are
really a result of some other problem that should actually be taken care
of instead. The steering dampener, as it appears you have finally
learned by now, only MASKS other problems... which if they are not
there, the dampener does nothing but sit there. It won't fix a "bouncy"
front-end problem though. Though it's not recommended to drive without
one, you COULD drive without one without feeling anything different if
everything else was working properly. The steering dampener is a
BAND-AID fix that masks other problems... which you are apparently now
trying to act like you have known all along. I deal with steering
dampeners on a nearly daily basis and know precisely what they do and
more importantly, what they CANNOT do. What they cannot and don't do is
what you are apparently weak on.

Re: bouncy front end
Bill, you are such a juvenile on such demands that I'm not bothering to
go through any personal effort to satisfy your demand. Anyone else I
wouldn't have any trouble doing that.. I'm not bothering to go through
old scrap books to scan in a photo of our old '89 I've mentioned here
several times over the years that I may not even have. I certainly have
no digital photos since digital cameras weren't out then. My role in
life is not to convince you of anything, nor is it to go to any extra
effort to convince you I've owned more Jeeps than my '97 TJ.

Re: bouncy front end
And again you fail to answer my question which was if you have

you feel they are not needed?
And you being senile I will again quote my suggestion to this
