I just got my Synergy tie rod clamp in and the clamp bolt doesn't fit inside the bushing of the stock steering stabilizer. Did the OEM bolt size change at some point? I got it from a forum member and it's practically brand new and I'd rather not have to buy a new stabilizer.

Edit: The stock 12mm bolt fits right into the stabilizer, also threads into the Synergy clamp but is too loose for comfort. Confused what to do at this point.

Try flipping the stabilizer around.

Tried that. I guess I need to find a stabilizer that has 1/2" bushing sleeves instead of 12mm.

Go to your local auto parts store or Home Depot etc., and buy a bushing/sleeve for $5...

And they would have a direct replacement for the jeep stabilizer?

or sell me the Synergy clamp

Haha nice try. After 3 weeks of running no stabilizer I'm ready to slap one on.

Still need help..all I can think to do is drill out the sleeve to 1/2" but I don't want to ruin the structural integrity.

drill it....you'll be fine

I had this same issue with the Synergy SS relocation bracket and tie rod clamp and ended up ordering bushings from Summit Racing for $5 each.
Part #BSN-195447
I did have to grind them down a bit for length.
Thought it was better to have the correct diameter bushing and couldn't get the OEM to drill out easily.
