Bent steering stabilizer

You've got to loosen the pinch nut down by the passenger knuckle then rotate the larger threading nut. You'll have to roll it over reach direction to see which way it's moving your wheel. My drag link is a different style so I don't have exact directions on which way the nut goes.

Can anyone tell me if the bracket is mounted backwards? I got a call back from corporate head quarters and the technician swears that the relocation bracket for the steering stabilizer is backwards or bolted incorrectly.
Anyone please confirm from one of the previous picture posts?

Going based off of your 'removed stabilizer' pic, they rotated the bracket on your tie rod towards the front of the jeep. The shock should have been sitting directly over top of the tie rod and not trying to reach out in front of it.
Edit....your first pic looks like it may have been in the right spot

Thanks so much guys. The final resolve at corporate is that they will pay for an off road shop who specializes in jeep (Laguna Nigel 😉 to put a new teraflex stabilizer on, new relocation bracket and new tie rod collar plus an alignment.
I had to leave town this week but will get the work done to it on Friday when I return.
It's just crazy how they couldn't figure out how to adjust the drag link to center my steering wheel. I really think the alignment is close to good but since the steering wheel is so far off it pulls and does all sorts of weird stuff.
Terrible experience.
