I, too, found that the OEM steering stabilizer was not really adequate.
In my case, it was the dreaded "death wobble" in an '06 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited. After balancing tires, inspecting the entire steering system, and other things, I replace the steering stabilizer (shimmy dampener) with an aftermarket heavy duty single unit, and it solved the problem.
The OEM Jeep dampener just isn't up to the job, especially with larger tires!
