Jeep Wrangler JL & Gladiator JT 18-24 IFP Steering Stabilizer, Stage 1, Single

Performance Series 2.0 Smooth Body IFP Steering Stabilizer

The FOX Performance Series 2.0 Smooth Body IFP Steering Stabilizer is designed to enhance steering control and reduce the strain on your steering components, particularly when running oversized off-road tires. With aggressive tire treads and large knobs, off-road tires tend to cause front-end wander both on and off-road. This steering stabilizer helps keep your vehicle’s tires tracking straight and true, improving your driving experience in challenging conditions.

Advanced Damping Technology for Steering Precision The Performance Series 2.0 IFP Steering Stabilizer incorporates the same advanced damping technology used in FOX's Performance Series shocks. The Internal Floating Piston (IFP) design eliminates oil aeration, ensuring consistent damping performance to tame the steering feedback caused by oversized tires. With FOX's race-proven damping control, the stabilizer improves your vehicle’s steering response and reduces steering fatigue.

Durable Construction for Long-Lasting Performance The stabilizer is built from impact-extruded and CNC-machined 6061-T6 aluminum, which provides superior heat dissipation and rust resistance. The clear-anodized finish ensures long-lasting durability, making it ideal for use in harsh off-road environments. The stabilizer’s robust design ensures that your steering components remain protected from the stress caused by rough terrain or aggressive tires.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: How does the FOX Performance Series 2.0 Steering Stabilizer improve steering control?
A: This stabilizer uses FOX's advanced damping technology and Internal Floating Piston (IFP) design to reduce steering feedback caused by oversized tires. It helps prevent front-end wander and keeps your tires tracking straight, improving steering control on both rough and smooth terrains.

Q: What is the benefit of the aluminum body construction?
A: The 6061-T6 aluminum body offers excellent heat dissipation, reducing the risk of shock fade during extended use. It’s also rust-resistant, ensuring long-lasting durability, even in off-road conditions.

Q: Is the FOX Performance Series 2.0 Steering Stabilizer suitable for off-road use?
A: Yes, this stabilizer is specifically designed for off-road conditions, particularly for vehicles running oversized off-road tires. It reduces steering feedback and improves control, making it ideal for tackling rough terrain.

Q: What role does the Internal Floating Piston (IFP) play?
A: The IFP design separates the shock oil from the nitrogen gas chamber, preventing oil aeration and maintaining consistent damping performance. This results in smoother steering control, particularly when dealing with aggressive tire setups.
