Default Steering Stabilizer Rubbing Adapter/Track Bar Bolt Head

Mine is a 2012 with a 2011 Mopar 2" lift. It has an adapter bracket for the steering stabilizer on the axle, that's probably similar to a lot of adapters out there. My kit was installed by the Dealer when new, and i just noticed that my stabilizer is rubbing on the adapter/track bar bolt head. The kit instructions say to locate the steering link bracket so that there's 15-1/2" between stabilizer eye centers, mine is at 14-7/8". I imagine the solution is to move the steering link bracket further away so that the stabilizer body doesn't contact the bolt head.

Loosen that u-bolt just enough for it to slide freely, and rotate it down a hair so it doesn't contact the dampener.

It might also need to be clocked right. While you have that bolt loose, turn your wheels all the way to the side that would completely compress your stabilizer. Snug the bolts down once you have it in the right spot where it doesn't rub, and have someone turn the wheels the other way to make sure you're not overextending the stablizer.
