Default Steering stabilizer

Hey guys was just wondering if it matter which side of the steering stabilizer goes the tie rod and which to the axle? I installed my TF SS with the cylinder end on the axle. Is it bad to have it that way?

shouldn't matter so long as the can doesn't hit the track bar mount on the axle. heck, it's how they came from the factory...

try to turn your steering wheel full turn right and left and see if the cylinder comes in contact with the trackbar mount. Note that teraflex says it should be mounted the other way. http://www.teraflex.biz/steering-stabilizer.html

Woods and just make sure your stabilizer doesn't rub or hit.

I'm not trying to hijack this thread, but it does appear to relate. I purchased the Woods aka JeepSwag aka Dominion OffRoad relocation bracket, went to install it yesterday and had to stop. Simple step, #2, I think, loosen and rotate the ubolt mount from the tie rod, picture from JeepSwag's site



Trouble is, my Jeep's got a different sort of mount on my tie rod and, sorry the picture is not detailed enough, has a mounting pin that's offset and doesn't appear to allow for a simple inversion like the u-bolt mount? Any one have any experience with the Woods or comparable relocation bracket and a mount like this on their tie rod?



Thanks!

Thats the newer mopar clamp, it'll work with a relocate kit, you can spin it up. I have the jks re-locate.

Cool, I'll give it a whirl. Anyone have any idea on a torque setting for the nut on the bracket in question on the tie rod?
