Steering Stabiliser for a RHD TJ - recommendations needed
Hi All,
I had asked a question about slight steering shake on the bumps a little
while ago. I can see slight seepage of oil from my steering stabiliser, so
it needs replacing. I wanted to go with something other than OEM. I went
to the Old Man Emu dealer and asked him about their unit SD40. This is the
reply I got from their Australian technical team:
"The damper OMESD40 will only suit LHD vehicles because when fitted to RHD
vehicles the damper's stone shield fouls on the draglink. Technically, it
may be possible to take off the stone shield and replace it with a
protecting rubber boot, but unfortunately there would be no warranty
applicable for such an application."
So that rules out OME SD40. What else is available that is suitable for a
RHD TJ? Input (makes and part numbers) from people driving RHD TJs would
be greatly appreciated. I guess the question is geared more towards forum
members from UK or other RHD driving countries.
Thanks

Re: Steering Stabiliser for a RHD TJ - recommendations needed
There was just a thread about that recently. Someone else was looking.
I found it hard to believe there was a difference, a shock is a shock,
except when it isn't a shock I guess eh....
The one on my CJ7 doesn't even have a rubber boot on it and it is old
and still working.....

Re: Steering Stabiliser for a RHD TJ - recommendations needed
More importantly, a bad or even a missing steering stabilizer does not cause
steering shakes, shimmy, death wobble, or any of that. It only serves as a
band-aid, at times, for other problems. A steering stabilizer is not even
actually needed if everything else is in good shape. And a shimmy is
generally always caused by either a bad wheel or tire or more likely, simply
a tire that is not perfectly balanced. The taller the lift, the more
critical that a tire is perfectly balanced becomes.

That's why all new TJs come with a steering dampener.
