It does come with a TB mounting bolt.
TB side is 14mm and the shock side is 1/2

Did not want to remove the 9/16 bolt securing my the track bar. It mounted nicely to one of the holes in the synergy bracket.

Not exactly... I said I pretty much fixed all my steering issues and posted what I've done. This stab just adds the finishing touch.

I guess that could of been misunderstood.

OP said that he had fixed his steering issues and the DAMPER was the finishing touch- so no masking, just enhancing. Was kinda surprised that someone would bust the OP's chops with the first reply.

Haha.... Stabilizers are a touchy subject. I'm not a newby trust me
99.989 stabilizer post go like this
"Had DW dealer replaced SS and it's now gone"
Or
"Will a stabilizer fix my DW"
Or
"Bumpsteer = stabilizer bad ? "
Or
"Help DW" .... "Replace your SS with a HD"
Etc etc etc etc
-The words bandaid and mask get used 100 times
Then of coarse. the cool guys that don't run one at all, and they can do 95 with 1 figure over bridge abutments,

I should have been more clear with my review/post. He is 100% correct

I upgraded my 5 yr old stock stabilizer to the fox. I didn't have any issue to start with but the new stabilizer feels way better than my worn out stock POS and looks cool too.
