Some Advice From an Old Fart

[MrT]

I suppose the metal cylinder in the clevite bushing was separated from the rubber?

I suppose there is not enough space to try c-clamp?

On mine the metal cylinder did separate from the rubber.

Was this a stock or aftermarket stabilizer? If stock - the Synergy bolt is for 1/2” ID. Stock is something (probably metric) slightly smaller than that. So the instructions with the bolt say to drill out the stock stabilizer sleeves to 1/2”. Possible that doing so removes the zinc (or whatever) coating on the inner surface, leaving bare base metal that bonds to the stainless Synergy bolt?

If so, then yeah just load it up with antiseize. Aftermarket probably comes at 1/2“ ID already

Very interested as I’m about to do this job myself, as soon as I can get the frakkin stock joint off the pitman arm. Spent today moving toward the blowtorch end of that pic above

Mine was a Clayton trackbar with a Clayton steering stabilizer relocation bracket and their supplied bolt.
I emailed them the day it happened with no response. I wasn't complaining just curious what went wrong and if they had seen it before. This is my second Clayton suspension and I would buy from them again.

Just finished up with the components on the rear.

That was the only hiccup on the entire project and it's surprising that the Synergy relocation bolt through the Synergy track bar was the only problem.
