Default Fox steering

Hey guys

On the weekend I fitted a fox stabliser. It's not a good fit with the synergy tie tie rod mount. The bushing sleeve needed some slight enlargement to fit with the synergy supplied bolt. Also, it's not perfectly parallel with the tie rod so it may be putting load on the stabliser bushings / shaft. What do you guys think?

Do you think a longer bolt on the tie rod is needed to make it more parallel?

I thought they went the other way around? Shock body to the frame and piston to the diff.

Hmm yeah I did a quick Google search. Ill just keep an eye on it.

I had it installed the other way initially but the drag link was hitting the shock body on full right lock. So I swapped it around
