Steering dampener bleeding/leaking
SteveBrady 9 March 2005 04:00:18
	Hey guys, had my jeep in to get the fluids changed and the tech commented that the front steering dampener was leaking. Bill, I know you've posted a nice picture with some labels on the front steering assembley and such...could repost! thanks! Anyhow, was wondering how hard it is to replace....I imagine not too hard..but any special tools needed?! Do I need ot lift the front-end to change? what's easier?! Oh, and if I'm changing that....anything else I should change with it.... thanks

Don't need a lift but you should get the proper tool. AutoZone and others will rent you one. They look like this. http://www.thetoolwarehouse.net/shop/KD-2289.html but are a bit smaller for pressing out that stud. Remember to spray some PB blaster on the stud a few hours before you go to remove it. -- DougW

	Thanks Bill.... on that page his old shock had a sheath on it...but the new one doesn't. I assume this is added protection to keep crap off the seal....is it really not needed? I'm all stock...so I won't be redoing anything (that's next tax year! haha)... Is there an upgrade to the OEM dampener? Or is stock good enough! "L.W.

Or is stock good enough! Use OEM, some aftermarkets simply don't work right and can lead to deathwobble. The rubber cover works well to trap dirt, mud, and promote rust. I don't run one up front. To each there own. -- DougW

	An aftermarket steering stabilizer made for the TJ cannot cause or lead to death wobble. All a properly functioning stabilizer can do is mask the symptoms of Death Wobble, but it won't cause them since DW is caused by other problems. An aftermarket stabilizer is highly recommended since if it is designed for the TJ, is a much heavier-duty unit which will readily withstand bigger tires that would cause the OE unit to fail. Any major brand stabilizer like Rancho, OME, Doesch Tech, ProComp (yes even ProComp in this use), Skyjacker, etc. all make fine stabilizers that work very well in a TJ. But in a TJ that has no other problems in its front-end, even the absense of a steering stabilizer will cause no problems like Death Wobble.

	Sometimes the larger cylinder won't allow the extra clearance for the sheath.

	It is just like replacing a shock absorber. This has alot to do withit actually being a shock absorber.

	Except it works with 50/50 valuing, new and aftermarket shock absorbers are usually around 30/70 for that cushy ride the Wannabees want to keep.
