I bought this part less that 2 years ago because of the good reviews I read ,and it did help with the death wobble for my 2003 Jeep wj for for about a year, that’s why the 2 stars. Then the Steering assist cyl started to slowly leak fluid and now after less that 2 years it needs to be replaced. I contacted Monroe and they were not helpful just sending me warranty links to authorize sellers and it appears Amozon is not one. After reading all reviews it’s pretty obvious this part has failed many times and is not a quality part so buyer beware.

Replaced original 20 year old shocks with these. Since there was no noticeable difference in rebound or shock resistance, I guess I replaced "just because". But good to know I'm riding on new Monroes. 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo.

Se ve bueno, solo que si lo comparo en el que tenía se siente igual, no tiene mucha fuerza, espero que me dure

If you're a Jeep guy, you know that steering stabilizers are NOT intended to fix death wobble - they mitigate it for a short time, until the shocks take too much abuse, begin to fail, and the death wobble returns. That being said, after swapping my entire front end (axle and all), I wanted to replace the puny stock stabilizer to something much more significant since I'm now running a 4.5" lift and 33" M/Ts. The install is simple, if your Jeep isn't too rusty- 2 bolts to remove the old, two bolts to install the new (you may need one of the longer bolts and a spacer if you currently have the tiny bone stock stabilizer. I had a spare bolt, spacer, and nut laying around.Until I get around to replacing my tie rod ends (all four, including drag link ends), I have two of these stabilizers on my Jeep because I need to be able to drive without fear of hitting a pothole. One is in the stock location, and the second stabilizer is bolted to the drag link and the track bar (search for "IRO Iron Rock Offroad auxiliary steering stabilizer" for help with this setup). For the time being, this works for me. I'll try to add some pics later.

My 2001 Grand Cherokee needed the track bar, steering bar, drag link, tie rods (4), sway bar links (2) and the stabilizer shock replaced so after much researching and reading I decided on the Moog product line with the Monroe Stabilizer Shock and SA1997 Cover.My two major deciding factors were:1. Quality2. PriceMoog exceeded both of these. I really liked that the bushings were already pressed, or install, in place on the replacement parts. The only really extra thing I had to do was screw in the zerk fitting nipple into each of the 4 tie rod ends and fill them with grease once I was done.The Monroe Stabilizer Shock had better reviews than the Moog counterpart, so I gave it a try. Glad I did. Very smooth steering with no adverse jerking of the wheel when I encounter the occasional pothole. The only con is I had to purchase a cover for the exposed rod. SA1997 for about $5. Still cheaper for the pair than the Moog. I can't say the Moog is better or not, just that it was more expensive for about the same kind of reviews.Installation was straight forward and really no problem at all. I did use Deep Creep on all the old rusty bolts a day ahead of time and again about an hour before starting. They came off with little unexpected effort.I assembled the new tie rod ends into the new steering and drag links, then adjusted them to the same overall length of the old rusty ones I pulled off.One bit of advice if you haven't done this before and are going to do it yourself. Remove the old track bar last and install the new track bar first. The axel will shift and it is easier to crank around under your rig without the steering linkage in the way. I used plain old nylon rachet straps (2 of them) to pull the axel back into place to get the 2nd bolt into the track bar. Not hard at all.The sway bar links, steering bar and drag link all went in easy peasy. Torqued everything down to spec, installed the included cotter pins, greased the 4 fittings and drove it to the alignment shop. Took me about 4 hours from set up to clean up...and most of that time was beer, youtube and chatting with my neighbor. You can do this in much less time. It is not a difficult task.I noticed a significant difference in steering right away. Now after a month, it still feels solid and smooth with very little wiggle (less than 1/2 in, was about 2 1/2 inches before) in the steering wheel. I am sure this is from the still stock steering box with 270,000 miles on it.A side note: You may want to consider replacing your ball joints, or having them done, if your tire has wiggle from top to bottom. Mine were still tight and right so I did not replace them, but you'll want to if they're loose.Overall this was a tremendous improvement to my Jeep. Well worth my time and money. I recommend using the Moog brand. Very good value for the price.

Recieved Tenneco steering dampner, I think I would be more hesitant to buy this product if it was described as Tenneco instead of Monroe. The box says Monroe but the damper does not. I see other reviews stating they received the same product and its working out good? Not sure about the legitimacy of this item but ill apply the damper and give an update on the product. Also, the nut is seizing as stated by many other reviews so I applied some WD 40 on the nut and threading. Update soon to come.Edit/Update Dec 3rd. I did a bit of research and I believe this product is under Monroe or Monroe is under Tenneco but after installing the damper, my steering is much more stiff and firm. Big improvement from my old factory damper. You can also see in the pictute that it is much more beefier then the factory damper. Besides trying to get the rust off the old nuts, installation was smooth. Overall, I am satisfied with the product and can agree with other positive reviews. Boot was not included I had to buy separate. Installed on a 2001 jeep WJ Laredo
