Death Wobble Fix - Steering Stabilizer Replacement. Jeep

2012-08-12
okay so today we're replacing the steering stabilizer basically we're underneath the Jeep Grand Cherokee now the steering stabilizer is this guy right here I'm just kind of attaches to mill this bar and then on the on the frame right here as well I'm it's right above the track bar so mine is a it's one of the death wobble fixes you can say usually is the track bar I'm also the steering stabilizer sometimes an alignment can cause it basically anything that has play in it's like you see the track bar sometimes has some play here in this bushing in my case this was not the cause sometimes play here in these arms can cause it over here with the pitman arm that could cause it sometimes the steering steering gears can do it so we're just kind of narrowing it down with the options with the most common options I guess you should say anyway so to take off the steering stabilizer this bolt right here is a fifteen millimeter and the one right here is a 19 millimeter and now he took out the cotter pin so this pull right here is completely stuck on the wrist bar right here the only place with threads so it's not threaded inside of this so I'm going to do right now is I'm going to take a torch and heat it up a little bit the w4t wouldn't do anything to it one more reason it makes me suspect that this is going bad up here is that it's starting to leak while it's been leaking the fluid that's been inside of it so once that happens you know that the shock is selfish shot so hopefully anyone who fixed the death wobble okay so the heat was pretty much useless so what I have right now are the tip Mountain puller so I'm going to do is I have it tightened around the edges of this right here and then this bolt right here pushes against that one and hopefully we can get the bolt out of there it's bound pretty tight anyway so this one is a 17 millimeter is basically tighten it down until that one pops off okay so that's what the bowl looks like what it's tucked down in there like I mentioned before it doesn't have threads on this part of it so it was just basically bound inside of that I also forgot to mention I did use a couple squirts of that TV blaster stuff stuff is amazing I was using w4t before that and I don't know if it was the Tippmann arm of the PB Blaster but hey we got it out so you can see where it's been leaking all that hydraulic fluid or whatever else they put inside these things so with the new warm I'm pretty much just plug-and-play you just slide it in there and then I believe this bolt on this end is a 15 millimeter then the other one is an 18 and then with this end right here I went ahead and put the top on um first of all I'm just so I wouldn't have to deal with it all up inside the car and then I just slid this in down into it and it's pretty easy you know it's all now that I got the other bolt out this one just slides in and out pretty simply so and then I just need to put the bolt on this in with the cotter pin and you see the bowl has the little ridges on it's the cotter pin can slide inside bolt just goes on like that there you believe that this nut needs to be tightened to 35 pounds of torque and then the top one as well so that's how you install steering stabilizer I usually throw up videos probably every week or so so if you're interested in Jeep repair automotive or anything you know taking apart cellphones I do a do a large variety of stuff anyway feel free to like if this helped you and subscribe thanks
