re: Replace your Steering Stabilizer, you'll be surprised.
Found an eBay store that's selling these for $19.95 + $7.70 shipping to me in SC (I think it's the same supplier discussed earlier in this thread). Thinking about getting one & putting it up until I need it.
The 1995 YJ Jeep Wrangler I've got has this same steering dampner in the front suspension. Doing any serious off-roading typically requires changing it every 12-18 months.
