Use OEM, some aftermarkets simply don't work right and can lead to deathwobble.
The rubber cover works well to trap dirt, mud, and promote rust. I don't run
one up front. To each there own.

Re: Steering dampener bleeding/leaking
An aftermarket steering stabilizer made for the TJ cannot cause or lead
to death wobble. All a properly functioning stabilizer can do is mask
the symptoms of Death Wobble, but it won't cause them since DW is caused
by other problems. An aftermarket stabilizer is highly recommended
since if it is designed for the TJ, is a much heavier-duty unit which
will readily withstand bigger tires that would cause the OE unit to fail.
Any major brand stabilizer like Rancho, OME, Doesch Tech, ProComp (yes
even ProComp in this use), Skyjacker, etc. all make fine stabilizers
that work very well in a TJ.
But in a TJ that has no other problems in its front-end, even the
absense of a steering stabilizer will cause no problems like Death Wobble.

Sometimes the larger cylinder won't allow the extra clearance for
the sheath.
