FOX ATS Warning!
Any of you guys running the ATS Stabilizer should check your Tie Rod clamp. Mine took a crap today.
The factory installed bolt holding the bracket to the shock came loose sending my unit crashing to the ground. it got twisted under the Jeep and the mounting end snapped and the piston rod got chewed up.
Check your clamp. It should've been installed with red loctite from the factory.
I sent an email with pics to FOX to see what they have to say. Hopefully it'll be a warranty issue.

Funny you posted this I took mine down yesterday to do some front end work and that Bolt was loose as shit. I didn't have any locktite on me but after seeing your pics I'm going out to put some on now that's for sure

Mine is currently at Fox for a second rebuild do to the whole body rolling over and rubbing the tie rod. The tie rod side mount freely spins. As in the whole shock spins over

What did they charge to rebuild it?

Thanks for the heads up on the tie rod clamp. Although for the guys that have the shock body roll over, I don't see how that's possible unless you loosened the allen screw or didn't tighten it back up so it wouldn't move. Or maybe it just doesn't clamp down hard enough but I haven't seen any movement for the few months I've had it.
