help with steering stabilizer

guys i think i need a new steering stabilizer but im not sure. how do you know when you need a new one. what are the symptoms? does anyone have a duel stabilizer setup, and if so then is it worth the extra money for it. also which ones do you guys like, single or duel. i hear it helps when having tires 35" or larger.

thanks

I have a dual put it on to try to help the sloppy steering did nothing but looks cool. If the stabilizer is leaking , most likely bad.

The single stock stabilizer did fine for my 35's, on my 05 and my old 96. I don't think putting a dual stabilizer will do much for you except lighten your wallet.

If you are running larger tires, I would go with a dual setup. It could help extend the life of your entire steering system. Just what I've heard/read. JMHO.

i put the duals on my 94 wrangler when i put the 6 inch lift on. i havent drove it yet. its a project and havent got the engine put in or the body back on yet. so there for i dont know how much of a differance it will make. i was thinking it would make my steering a little easyer because it was real hard to turn the wheel when not moving. it was full of fluid but today i took to dealer and had a coolant and steering system flush and it helped my steering alot. night and day differance.

Yes, if you run 35s or bigger I would go with the dual. Helps out quite a bit so you dont have the "death wobble" while runnin down the road lol. I just went with a Pro Comp stabilizer because thats the lift brand I have. Wanted everything to match. They aren't really hard to install, and if I remember correctly they were around 100 bucks. Maybe 120.
