Re: Fabtech Steering Stabilizer Failed
The exact same thing just happened to me  ! The fluid collects in the skid plate and drains back about a foot or so making it tricky to find what was leaking.

Re: Fabtech Steering Stabilizer Failed
FYI - mine failed as well - what I found out after numerious trys to get it replaced - is' got a special number - not the same as the FT streering stabilizer. The reason mine failed - was it was not lined up properly because they installed a set screw above the left side bracket. By doing so - the unit bent as it was moved back and fourth - thus it developed a leak. I only use the one bolt (main) position and torqued it down - and it works bravo... It took weeks of on and off including trying the Rancho - which fits in what was once the stock position. The FT kit changes all of that.
Good Luck...

Are you referring to the hex cap #5?

Re: Fabtech Steering Stabilizer Failed
Yep - thats it... If you use that nut in its original location the SS will not line up correctly and BIND / BEND / Leak... I did not use it - only the main bolt and she works perfect!
