- In this video: we will show you how to install an Old Man Emu HD steering stabilizer and FK50 bracket on your JK Wrangler for more control with larger tires and more ground clearance than the stock mount provides. This stabilizer will also mount on your TJ, LJ or XJ with no bracket needed.
Thank you for the great video! You’re a great teacher! I’m more confident in getting this stabilizer now ;)
Thanks! This is one of the easier installs for your jeep.
Great video on the install! I have the same stabilizer on my 2008 Rubicon Unlimited. Quick question... the nut on the tie rod side... has a small gap, but the nut is snug tight. Does this gap cause the wobble in the steering?
Not sure exactly which nut you're referring to, but a tight nut should not have a gap. It's possible that the nut has run out of threads and needs another washer or the bolt is cross threaded or something. A loose nut on a steering component or trackbar could certainly cause a shimmy or wobble.
I think I'm experiencing this as well, can't figure out how to snug down one end with the bracket I got from summit using with the old man emu sd40
@@larzrobison406 if a nut is bottoming out without tightening against the bushing, try adding a washer or 2 to fill the gap.
Are you using the bushing sleeve in the rubber grommet on boot side to mount to pin on FK50 bracket?
The bushing sleeve is not used on the bracket mount. It is used on the tie rod side.
Can the relocation kit be used on a stock height JK with 33” tires?
Great question! We've never installed one on a JK that wasn't lifted. I can't see any reason why it would be a problem though.
