Review on 🔧 Enhance Steering Stability with Moog SSD107 Steering Damper Cylinder by Isaac Tutt

I bought Moog SSD107 and Monroe SC2962 for my 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ. more Moog than Monroe, based on an unscientific stretch test using fish scales. The installation of the Moog device does not use all of the hardware or instructions provided. You will use a supplied bolt, 2 washers and locknut on the passenger side and a factory bolt and welded nut on the driver's side. You won't be using the tapered bolt that comes with the WJ and I didn't install the boot because it's ugly. See photos and videos for installation and comparison. Long story: My Jeep is 3" tall and I installed a Moog sway bar for cheap insurance against death wobble about 40,000 miles ago after jacking up my WJ and installing big tires. The unit has been running great for 4 years and 40km or so with no wobble or vibration, but after a recent adjustment I started to feel terrible hesitation at around 55mph when hitting a bump. I was frustrated as this was never an issue so the shop tried a few toe alignment adjustments as per my request on both ends of the spectrum (positive and negative) and slightly out of spec but nothing worked. Confused as to why this was happening now and not sooner, the store manager suggested that this might coincide with the end of my stabilizer's life, and I acquiesced. After removing the old block it became clear that it had been filmed quite well. Bushings are loose and bushings are badly worn. Also, the old unit now only requires about 4 pounds of pressure to move the piston compared to the new one, which required over 20 pounds in my simple fish scale test. Also of note is that the new Monroe block only requires about 12 pounds to move the piston and the diameter of the piston body is 10mm smaller. I find the Moog block to be a superior aftermarket option in every way except for its brilliant white color, but cosmetics mean little to my car, where I prioritize performance. Installing a Moog device is a little confusing for a wrenching novice as the device is somewhat versatile and the instructions and hardware may not apply to your vehicle. I'd say look at my photos and use the factory torque specs and you should be able to figure it out. The price is right and in my case the lifespan has been good for a modified car where all things wear out normally but faster. It's worth noting that I don't ride much off-road. So when you drive with a high mileage, life can change a lot. And if you have extreme buoyancy, you may need to install a dual stabilizer to contain your wobble.
