Falcon TS steering stabilizer

[Gren71]

I recently installed the falcon steering stabilizer and found that the two black spacer pieces that are intended to be the new mounting point did not match up to the bolts on my tie rod.

I attached it to the OEM bracket and it seems to be functioning fine. Ive been in contact with falcon customer service but seem to be making little tono headway with them as they "only use one bracket and it should fit". Not sure if the issue is because I have a JT build in 2019 and MAYBE there used a different tie rod end or something.

has anyone else had this issue?

These two are the brackets not matching up

This is it mounted to the oem bracket

2021 here. Recently swapped out my tie rod, drag link, and steering stabilizer. The Teraflex brackets appear to line up fine on the factory tie rod.

Is it possible you are ligning up the incorrect holes and need to flip/rotate the part?

I bet that is the issue. See this vid

I have this on my current Rubicon and previously on my other two Gladiators. There should have been instructions on the inside of the box the stabilizer came in on how to sandwich the three plates. It is little fiddly at first, but they will line up. Position of the third spacer plate will depend on if you are running a factory track bar or a HD track bar.

I have seen others get away with using the factory tie rod end bracket but run into problems once they put a lift in or get serious flex off roading.

looking at your pictures after having done mine, you have the plate flipped the wrong way. The rounded protruding end is where the stabilizer attaches.

I did that on mine on the first attempt.
Showed my wife and she said, "Here. Try it this way"

%100 operator error on my end
I went and messed with it the other day and got it installed correctly.

Interesting note I haven’t felt the need to take it off of the medium setting yet. I pulled my mother’s 3000 pound camper back to her house today and felt just fine on the highway with it.

Mine has been on Medium for nearly a year now, on road and off road. Seems to be the sweet spot.

Happy you got it!
You inspired me to get one... and a steersmarts tie rod to go with it!
