What brand stabilisers do you guys have for your Jimny? Seen this one on ebay and was wondering if anyone had used it?
Cheers, Paul

I have the tough dog RTC it is great, but i have that wobble at 70-80kph and the guy at my local OL told me that the RTC was making it worse becasue they are not really meant to go on cars with lifts over 2".

In my experience a steering stablizer shouldn't cause vibration, I would say that if you've got more than a 2 inch lift it would be the lift or maybe even the tyres or wheel balancing issue, but not the steering stablizer.

Of course, salesmen at opposite lock know everything there is to know about the complex science of steering geometry and mechanics , and should be trusted at all times on these matters
