Monroe Magnum SC2928 Steering Damper for Jeep Wrangler

Nice part. Easy install. If you have a Jeep TJ, this is the one you want. I've used many of these over the years / 200K miles. Works great. I change it out about every 20K miles. Tip: Leave the mounting stud (included in this kit) in the drag-link to save yourself the headache of pressing it out. This also removes the need to mess with the crown bolt & cotter pin on the ground side of the mounting stud. Just unbolt your existing damper from the engine facing (top) side of the drag-link, push off, reinstall new, and done! On the wheel side, once you remove the bolt and the existing damper, re-orientate the bolt so that the loose nut is on the front-bumper side. This also makes things easier for install and future replacement. Also, purchase the rubber boot and then re-use it until it falls apart and you need a new one. Make sure to put the rubber boot on prior to installing the damper!

Stock replacement for my Jeep TJ after 21 years alongside a new lift kit. There's little need for a fancy dampener, this one does the trick even with 33's and a 4 inch long arm lift. Installed on the new Curry-Link drive linkage without issue, comes with all required hardware to replace the old stuff and torque specs too. Overall, A+

The 27 year old factory steering dampener on my Jeep YJ wasn't really doing its job anymore, so I got this to replace it. It is much stiffer than the old worn out one! Driving feels much nicer now, and I don't have to fight with the steering wheel through every pothole on a bad road. The hard part was getting the old tapered bolt out of the tie rod. But once that was removed, installation of this new steering damper was straightforward and I had the jeep back together in 15-20 minutes. I used the included hardware, which was great of them to provide. So far so good! As I mentioned, steering is much better now, and compared to the old one, this felt much beefier than the original. Plus, not that it's necessarily an indicator of quality, but I like the fact this one has "Made in USA" stamped on the housing as well as the box it came in. Also nice that it looks OEM unlike a lot of those crazy aftermarket jeep parts out there.

It does not come with a dust boot. I bought this assuming it would come with a dust boot and was let down. The product pictures do not show a dust boot but the product box I recieved does... now I have to source my own dust boot. Seems decent enough.

This is the second steering stabilizer or damper through my whole life. If your Jeep steering wheel keeps wondering off while driving, specially on uneven or a rough road, most likely the steering stabilizer needs replaced. This Monroe Magnum SC2928 Steering Damper worked great on my 2001 Jeep Cherokee, even though it has larger tires, and I recommended. I used an impact wrench to remove it. To have better access to the bolt head closer to the passenger side, just turn the wheels to the right and you'll have plenty of room for the impact wrench. The only issue you may run to is removing the yoke by the pitman arm. Although I had put some penetrating oil the night before, it just wouldn't come out, not even with a 4 pound hammer. But I got it out using ball joint puller. Since it was bad anyway, I just cut off the stabilizer piston so one of the bolt joint puller adapter would fit over the yoke. Using the impact wrench, it came off in a few turns. You can use a puller made for this purpose, but the ball joint puller was the only one I had and it worked. One thing about the installation of this new damper, to prevent damage to hardware don't use an impact wrench, and make sure the tapered stud the hole are free of debris or rust.

No more death wobble, easy install, great price. Looks good and it works. Rides like new again

Fit perfectly for my stock suspension of my 01' Jeep XJ Cherokee. Keeps steering as stable as the original damper did. Happy with purchase!

While installing to 35 ft lbs, the thread stripped on the included hardware, and I had to cut it off.! I re-used original bolt hardware. Other than that, good for the price. I would not use the included bolt hardware! Good fit on 1997 wrangler and fixed my death wobble.

Fit great, easy install. Great value for OE style part.

Quedo justo y se le quitó el Bamboleo a mi Grand cherokee 94.

Was soll ich dazu sagen... siehe angehängtes Bild... der Dämpfer ist so grottig lackiert, dass einige Stellen einfach "vergessen" wurden... dort ist KEIN Lack, aber schon jede Menge Rost... für einen neuen Artikel unzumutbar, Qualitätskontrolle gleich null... der Aufdruck "made in USA" macht das ganze leider auch nicht besser, selbst Chinateile wären besser beschichtet...... puuh!

Replaced old steering damper with this one. Perfect fit.

This item worked perfectly
