Off-road enthusiasts need help

Hello Dear Jeep Pals,

We are passionate off-road enthusiasts ourselves who are currently studying automotive engineering. In the course of writing our thesis about -you guessed it- off road vehicles, we´ve developed a stabilizer disconnection concept for the after market. It is pretty much like the `07 Jeep Wrangler’s ASBS. Before we go to expenses (prototype, etc..) -and for that would have to sell our own jeeps (oops!)- we are now trying to estimate our chances on the world’s biggest off-road market, the U.S. market. You would do us a great favour if you participated in our survey:

If you have any further questions or suggestions please feel free to send us an e-mail to:

p.schumeyer@hotmail.de or wendemann@hotmail.de

Thanks for your help.
Best regards from Germany

Patrick and Karsten

I may be wrong, but isnt the point of a steering stabilizer to stabilize the front 2 wheels and keep them in motion together as one? and in off roading wouldnt you want to take it off and have the front 2 wheels move independently as they hit different terrain? I may be 100 percent wrong here but this is what my understanding has always been, if anyone can correct me or agree with me it would be appreciated so that I will know for sure and maybe go put my stabilizer back on ...  are you saying that you are making a quick disconnect to disconnect it when off roading ?
