Steering stabilizer bracket issue?

[Sticks702]

I'm a noob here when it comes to suspension/steering issues and I need your advice!

It appears the bolt from the steering stabilizer mount is hitting the lower part of my Apex autoLynx on the driver's side of my 22 Sport. when turned full driver and articulating.

Can I rotate the bracket at all to get the bolt to clear it, or will that screw up the geometry of the stabilizer?
Can I remove and flip the bolt over so the bolt head is facing up?

Is this another issue that I am missing completely? It seems to be the only component close enough to the sway bar mount to be causing the issue

Please help!

Move your steering stabilizer to passenger side. Do a track bar bolt kit. Why is it mounted to center of axle to left side?

Can you rotate to make bracket on top of tie rod?

Well it is a dual stabilizer, so there is a stabilizer & bracket on each side of the tie rod. I can probably rotate a couple degrees to the top of the tie rod to clear is my thought

Gotcha, that makes sense then. I would rotate and cut and grind off what is not needed on the bracket.

Thank you. Taking a look at the other side, it is at the top of the tie rod. Drivers side is canted to the rear. Looks like whomever built this thing didn't pay super close attention to detail or it came loose and rotated on it's own. Should be an easy fix. Thank you!

Looks like just the end of your bolt is hitting. I’d flip to bolt 180. Having the head on the side that’s making contact may give you the clearance you need.

Flipped and issue resolved! Thank you everyone!
