The Bilstein B8 5100 steering damper for the Jeep Wrangler JK, Bilstein part number 24-158428.

A steering damper does a different job to the dampers on the corners of the car. It sits on the steering linkage and damps the side to side movement that comes back up through the steering, which is what you feel as bump steer, wander and, on a solid front axle, the shimmy that sets in at speed once tyres get bigger or the geometry moves.

The 5100 is Bilstein’s monotube unit for lifted and off-road vehicles, so it is built for the loads a Wrangler puts through the steering on rough ground and for the extra leverage that comes with larger tyres.

About Bilstein

Bilstein have been building dampers in Germany since 1873 and put the first gas-pressure shock absorber into production in 1954. The monotube design that came out of that work is still what separates a Bilstein from a cheap replacement, because the gas and the oil stay separated and the damping does not fade as the damper heats up.

Will this fit my car?
This steering damper is listed for the Jeep Wrangler JK. If your Wrangler has an aftermarket lift, a steering upgrade or a relocated damper mount, send us the registration and tell us what is fitted and we will confirm it before you order.

How many do I need?
One. A steering damper is a single unit on the steering linkage, not a pair like the dampers on the corners of the car.

Will this cure my death wobble?
Not on its own, and it is worth being straight about that. A steering damper calms the symptom. If the shimmy is coming from worn track bar bushes, ball joints, a loose track bar bolt or geometry that has moved after a lift, those need sorting first or it will come back.

Anything to do after fitting?
Check the damper is not at the end of its travel at full lock in either direction, and have the steering geometry checked if the car has been lifted.
