It fits perfectly as a replacement. Only half of the provided hardware actually can be used, as noted in the provided instructions. Specifically you can replace the hardware that holds the steering damper to the drag link, but you will need to keep the old bolt and nut that holds it to the frame. I opted to just use the old nuts and bolts because it was still usable.

I used this steering stabilizer to replace the stock original but it gave out in about one month. Not worth the trouble save your money and buy another brand, I lost my faith in KYB.

I like the price and the quality of the brand. My only complaint is that it did not come with a dust boot. The factory one didn't have one either, so a small complaint.Overall it preforms as stated by the manufacturer.

It seems fine . installed it on my 98 k1500 4x4 with 6.5l turbo diesel. It was easy to install, my only complaint which isnt really much of a complaint, would be its a little lower grade material. But after a month already its working fine and looks like it will last awhile despite my skepticisim. Id recomend it . the price is pretty good as well.

I ordered the steering damper by KYB, but, I didn't realize it did not have the proper provision for a rubber boot. This is strange as the damper is designed for trucks and every other damper/shock I've ever purchased for my Jeep had the provision for a boot. Only exception are dampers/shocks that have a protector already on the rod end...Old Man Emu for example.In case someone doesn't know what I mean by "a provision for a boot", there is a rod end and a tube end. The tube end is the fat end which contains the piston, seal and oil, etc. The rod end has the chromed metal rod that moves in and out of the tube. On the tube end, there is usually a round metal plate about 1.5 inches or so in diameter. It is mounted where the rod is welded into the "eye" (the big hole at the end of a shock). The fat end of the boot slips over the cylinder(tube) and attaches with a zip tie and the smaller end has a crease that sort of slips around the round, flat metal on the rod end. The boot protects the rod from debris, dirt, mud, water, etc., and will usually, extend the life of the shock/damper.I'd pay the $1 more for the provision for the boot. I just don't understand why manufacturers, especially like KYB, don't add this simple feature.As for the function, it works as specified. However, I have 31x10.50 all terrain tires on my Jeep. If you have 33x12.50 and larger, you may want to look for one of the traditional Jeep/truck dampers. Reason being, the tube is significantly smaller in diameter than my previous Rancho 5000 damper, which had the boot provision. This tells me that the piston is significantly smaller and, therefore, probably not built for larger tires or serious of off road use. Just a guess on my part.

That old death wobble. Now mind you, it can come from may loose elements of the steering system, but this was the last thing to be repaired and it works beautifully. No more death wobble, and for the price, this absorbs the impacts to the steering system very well.

I purchased this stabilizer to replace the original stabilizer on a 1999 Jeep Cherokee Classic. The hardest part was removing the old stabilizer. I found good detailed instructions for removal by searching Google. This stabilizer took five minutes to install and the hardware for the tie rod end is included. There is a tapered sleeve that goes into the tie rod. The factory bolt has the taper built into it. You can reuse the factory hardware but I elected to use the new hardware that came with the stabilizer. I hope I never have to try to remove that sleeve!The original stabilizer was leaking oil but it still had resistance when I took it out. This new stabilizer feels the same as the one I took out and I don't notice a difference after installing it but if your stabilizer is totally shot then you should see an improvement.
