Default Can a steering stabilizer be mounted at angle?

I smashed up my steering stabilizer a few days ago so I got a new one for my JK and its a lot bigger than the stock one. Its made for my JK but its barley hitting a peice of metal and scratching it when making turns. if I adjust it at a slight angle (only a few degrees) it wont scrape anymore but im not sure this is ok to do.
If you know Let me know. Thanks

Yes, but it will lose it's effectiveness as the angle goes up. Try to relocate it horizontally above the tie rod. That way it won't get beat up. You should be able to get a bracket for about $30. Good luck.

put it above bar if you bracket, if you dont you can do this temp. til you get the bracket....i would do this as a tempary solution, but works, and doesn't bind at turns.
