Fox Shox - 985-02-127 18-On Jeep Jl Ts Stabilizer, 8.2" T

Don’t listen to reviews of those who had trouble installing the axle mount bracket, if you get all screws loosely installed then torque them down it’s too easy. Took about 20 minutes with simple hand tools. I upgraded from a 100k mile worn factory unit so my experience may vary from yours, but this was night and day difference. After install the steering felt tighter, and more responsive. I feel like I was more in control of the jeep.

Effortless steering, matches the Fox shocks, bling-bling! Installation Tips for 2023 Jeep Wrangler JL Sport: Install the new axle bracket to the new steering stabilizer, use red LT. Jack up driver side to move the track bar away from the axle bracket bolts. Remove the three 13mm bracket bolts. Remove the 18mm right steering knuckle bolt. Install the new steering stabilizer axle bracket side first. Start the two top bolts, then start the third bottom bolt into the axle. If the bracket doesn't line up you can twist the bracket left and right and it will fit. The axle bracket mount pivots, you just have to pull hard. You don't need to drill the holes or bend the bracket, just turn it with your hand. Torque the three bolts to 27ftlb. If your Jeep has the square right steering knuckle 18mm bolt, reuse the OEM 18mm steering stabilizer bolt from the axle side. Then you can order the correct bolt later and not have to wait. "Genuine Mopar Shoulder Square Neck Bolt Right Hand Drive 6510774AA" Install the 18mm right steering knuckle bolt. Torque 18mm bolt to 60ftlb.

The item arrived well. No damages. As far as installation, it was easy. The package had written instructions and pictures to follow. Or, you can watch on YouTube; there are many. It took me about 30 minutes to install. As for fitment, it fit perfectly on my 2021 Jeep Gladiator Overland. No issues at all. Bracket and holes lined up correctly. As for performance, I don't know yet. My stock steering stabilizer was working fine. I upgraded to the Fox 2.0 TS performance steering stabilizer because it was recommended for vehicle that has large tires and lifted. My Gladiator is lifted and runs on 37x13.5xr20; I bought it used this way. Previous owner didnt upgrade the stabilizer so I figure I should upgrade just to get a peace of mind.

Unfortunately I can’t give this a five star review like I thought I would be doing. I had a bump steer issue read all the reviews, and thought this steering stabilizer would fix the problem. I thought wrong, the stabilizer made the bump steer worse. I know fox makes a great product I have the 2 inch lift on my jeep that was installed by a Mopar dealer. I can’t figure out why this high-performance steering stabilizer gave me worst performance than the new factory steering stabilizer that was recently replaced due to a recall. I doubt if it was a defect but who knows.

2020 Gladiator started getting “Death Wobble” more frequently so I got this to help. Took to local mechanic for install as well as fix any tire balance, wheel alignment, and all linkage torgue checks. This and everything else fixed the issue and steering feels more solid.

So I did a fair amount of research and watched a video about the three fox stabilizer options for the Gladiator. 1st, it was supposed to be plug and play using the OEM hardware. Not the case. The bolt by the tire is a square fitting which does not fit through the Fox stabilizer. New lag bolt needed which I went and picked up. Next issue, the new mounting brackets holes were not properly aligned. Making mounting it virtually impossible. I’ll try again tomorrow but what should have been a 1/2 hour job turned into a 3hr $—t show. Disappointed Fox. This was on my Gladiator, I have a JK with Fox Reservoir 2.0 that I’ve bees happy with. Making me rethink my next purchase…

Product as described. Easy to install

I bought this part in the hopes it might help not only better save me from some experienced "death wobble". The dealer suggested the OEM part was a frequent root cause. Therefore, why not just bypass them and go directly to a part that should fix this for the long haul. Replacing the stabilizer was fairly easy, even though I had to bend a self-tightening nut wings to make it install. But it was an easy 30-40 minute job. Fox instructions are easy, and the parts seem well built. The feel of the steering was very smooth from extreme left to extreme right. Very linear. Unfortunately, the death wobble I experienced became more frequent. I realized the Fox shock must be weaker than the OEM part. So, I replaced the Fox with the OEM part, and it seems more stable now. I can only suggest, and as Fox suggested to me, don't buy this part in the hopes to fix or reduce death wobble. Make sure the root cause is identified and repaired first. Then, if you desire to sweeten your driving experience should you buy the Fox Shox. UPDATE: Dealer replaced the steering stabilizer with an updated OEM part. No more Death wobble since the part was replaced, and it's been several months now.
