Product FAQs
- Will the AEV Steering Stabilizer Relocation Kit work with all JL Wrangler/Gladiator Models?
Yes, this relocation kit will work with all models that meet the tie rod diameter criteria, which includes all 2018+ JL/JT factory tie rods.
- What suspension systems is this Steering Damper Relocation compatible with?
The AEV Steering Damper Relocation is a fantastic upgrade even for JL/Gladiator owners who intend to keep their suspension stock or any aftermarket suspension that retains the OEM tie rod diameter specs and tie rod location. It is also compatible with both our 2” Spacer Lift and 2.5” DualSport Suspension Systems.
- Why would I need to relocate my steering damper?
The stock position of the steering damper is below the tie rod and axle tube and has the potential to be hit and damaged while traversing rough terrain while off-roading. By moving the damper position to above the tie rod, it will drastically reduce the odds of it from being struck by anything that you may be driving over.
