Comments about Monroe Magnum Steering Damper:
This stabilizer is larger and seems more robust than the stock one. Installation was straight forward once the old one was off. Only complaint is the spacer between the stabilizer and the tie rod (center link) seems a little small, so the stablizer is at an angle to the axle. The tracking of the Jeep seems much better, with lot less steering wheel shake. I did add the boot to protect the exposed end of the stabilizer and to make it look 'pretty'.

Comments about Monroe Magnum Steering Damper:
This is a great product! It took me about 15 mins to get the old one out and 5 to put this one in. Heavy duty bushings and new hardware is a major bonus. It fit perfectly. It does not come with a boot, do yourself a favor and spend the 5 bucks on one. It will protect the piston arm and plus it doesn't look too shabby. It eliminated any wobble in my steering and smoothed out the ride.

Comments about Monroe Magnum Steering Damper:
Monroe stabilizer appears to be more heavy duty than original OEM stabilizer. Hopefully will provide the same or better service life.

Comments about Monroe Magnum Steering Damper:
Installed as replacement for OEM stabilizer on 2003 Grand Cherokee. Monroe supplied bolt and spacer for one end instead of OEM design where bolt was built into end of shock. Monroe's fastener pack included a 1/4" thick spacer, where the OEM spacer was 3/4" thick. Regretfully, the Monroe bolt was only long enough to allow 1/2" total spacer, so until longer bolt can be obtained, stabilizer will be out of alignment with steering arm. Monroe needs to include the correct thickness spacer and a bolt long enough to install it. The Monroe unit appears to have twice the fluid volume of the OEM, which is a good thing. A bellows ($5 dust cover) was shown on the box, but fine print said it was not included. Bellows is necessary to keep dirt from destroying the rod seal.
Steering performance improvement was significant and immediate. Road surface irregularities and large tire squirming that constantly required minor steering corrections, and the heavier bumps and pavement bulges that tended to push the wheels a little left or right and required a firm steering wheel grip, both disappeared. Replace the OEM steering stabilizer the moment either of these situations occur.

CUSTOMER CARE
A:
I would recommend using a boot to help ensure that no dirt or debris get inside the stabilizer.Answered on 10/1/2010 by Mike from AAPA:
necessary, is relative...obviously the stock one does not come with one nor does the replacement one. the boot is a shield , keeping water, salt/sand, and dirt/dust out. it is 5 bucks from Advance, do yourself a favor and get it. It cant hurt and it looks decent too.Answered on 11/14/2010 by djluski from Rockaway, NJ
