Steering stabilizer
Personally I'd rather fix the problem than put the stabilizer on. Watch the tie rod on some car with the stabilizer on it as the wheels are turned from lock to lock while on the ground, even on dirt. The tie rod will bend very noticeably, I'll wager. I haven't seen many but they all that I watched in operation bent the tie rod. Doing that can't be good for it. I had a truck I bought with the stabilizer and a hotrod type connection to the left front backing plate. On a trip home from Portland to the Bay Area the hotrod piece worked its way partially through the backing plate, causing a terrifying bit of the death wobble several times in the last few miles to my home, late in the night or I wouldn't have dared to drive it if there had been much other traffic.

Re: Steering stabilizer
So what are you going to do, replace the stabilizer or check and rebuild the front end as necessary?
The stabilizers do work and will cover up the problems real well as you noticed when it failed.

Re: Steering stabilizer
I would suggest fixing the problem rather than replace a stabilizer. The stabilizer is just a band-aid.
