About a week ago I ditched my old Monroe $20 steering stabilizer for a Fox Racing 2.0 Performance Series Smooth Body IFP Stabilizer, part no. 985-24-072. I immediately noticed the steering was a bit stiffer, but not necessarily in a good way. Is this normal? Are these things pressurised expecting 40" tyres with sloppy steering and RAM assist? I am using the stock drag-link on my Jeep with only 33" tyres. Lee Power Steering pump with Durango saginaw gear box.
I noticed there is a valve stem on it, similar to that on a bicycle tyre. Should I try to let some gas out? I noticed that when I went to put on the Fox stabiliser that it was abnormally difficult to compress, much more so than the Bilstein 5100 shocks I put on that same day. Is it supposed to be this tough to compress, and if so, why?
Is there another stabiliser I should use which lasts a long time and is soft and subtle? I don't have any play in my steering and use that "the cure" product.
