The RockSport Black XD Steering Stabilizer through-shaft design applies equal damping force in both directions, preventing the stabilizer from pushing the steering wheel to one side. This results in balanced, predictable steering and improved on-center feel, especially noticeable at highway speeds and on uneven surfaces.

The stabilizer comes with a simple-to-use six-position adjustment knob to change the compression settings with ease, no tools required. Choose from 6 settings that add an additional 10% compression force at each click to tune in your Gold Standard. The adjustment knob provides precise tuning to match vehicle setup and driving conditions. Whether dialing in lighter damping for daily driving or firmer control for oversized tires and aggressive terrain, adjustments can be made quickly without removing the stabilizer.

The steering stabilizer reservoir can be clocked to accommodate unique clearance requirements, making it ideal for custom suspension layouts and high-articulation builds. This flexibility allows optimal fitment around track bars, tie rods, and other steering components without compromising performance or travel.

The shaft is finished in a titanium nitride coating (TiN) to reduce friction and wear at the sealing surfaces, resulting in a smoother operation as well as improved longevity. The low-friction surface allows the stabilizer to react quickly to steering inputs and impacts, delivering consistent damping while standing up to dirt and repeated high-load cycles.

The stabilizer body is finished in a Mil-Spec Type III HARD anodized black infinity finish for durability in harsh environments. It provides increased resistance to corrosion, abrasion, and trail debris while maintaining a clean, understated look.

The stabilizer comes with a two-piece, CNC aluminum billet tie rod mount. The mount was designed specifically for the MetalCloak tie rod for the Jeep JK/JL/JT but will fit any 1.625" OD tie rod (call in for a different size clamp mount). The tie rod mount has recessed bolt hole locations to protect the hardware from damage and is finished in an anodized black finish for a clean look.

MetalCloak's Baller Joints use the best features and combine them with top quality materials to create a ball joint replacement set that is unrivaled; this is the only ball joint that is Fully Sealed, Captured, Adjustable, On-Jeep rebuildable and made in the USA. Replace your worn ball joints with the best you can get.

MetalCloak ball joints start with a Chromoly spindle & ball with an induction-hardened surface strength that resists wear and provides a maximized bearing area to distribute force loads; the material gives superior ability to absorb energy without fracture over inferior materials.

Composite bearing sleeves slide over the spindle to handle shock loads and are the most resistant to deformation. Ball and spindle are both load bearing and utilize metal-on-metal strength captured with Tool Steel Races that eliminate memory steer and are long-lasting.

Both upper and lower joints are adjustable for preload tension, have recessed zerk fittings for servicing and are sealed with multiple Buna-N Rubber O-Rings along with wiper seals on the shafts to keep contaminants out and grease in.

Aluminum lock nut and thread-on top cap capture the joints so there is no possibility of pulling the joints out of the C.

Anodized black aluminum with Silver and Gold Zinc steel plated components highlight the quality and craftsmanship and are sure to let others know you appreciate American-made quality and top-notch performance. The ONLY joints that are Sealed, Captured, Adjustable, and On-Jeep rebuildable; the last ball joints you will ever need.

Note: The billet tie rod mount is designed to fit a 1.625" OD tie rod.

Note: Hardware supplied mounts to OE track bar bracket on axle end. If using a high steer bracket, different hardware to match your application may be required.
