Description

Take the shimmy out of the wheel and keep the front end tracking straight with the KYB Steering Damper SS11318. Also known as a steering stabilizer, this front-mounted damper is a direct-fit replacement for the 2007-2014 Jeep Wrangler (see the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-level fitment), designed to dampen steering-linkage vibration before it reaches the driver.

Damps front-end shimmy: Engineered to control steering shimmy and front-end vibration for improved tire control, which KYB calls out as critical for 4WD and off-road applications.
Recommended OE replacement: A recommended OE-replacement steering stabilizer built to help restore handling and performance on Jeeps.
Control on and off road: Helps maintain control on the road or in rugged terrain.
Reduced tire wear: Designed to decrease wheel shimmy for reduced tire wear and steering vibration.

The steering damper mounts to the front steering linkage and absorbs the forces that cause the wheel to wander or oscillate. If a worn stabilizer is the cause of steering shimmy, wheel wander, or a shaking wheel over rough terrain, replacing it with the SS11318 addresses that source. Diagnose the cause of any steering vibration before replacing, as other worn front-end components can produce similar symptoms.

What are signs my steering damper may need replacing?

Steering-wheel shimmy, wheel wander, or shaking over bumps and rough terrain may indicate a worn stabilizer. Diagnose the cause first, as other front-end parts can cause similar symptoms.
