That's crazy. You shouldn't get any wobble regardless if the stabilizer is on or not. Something is definitely going on there.

With the record that Yeti has, I'd check to make sure it's not loose. That collar is ridiculous.

Craziest part is how the bushing on the stabilizer ripped out . Wtf ?

Will check the yeti soon too

Seems like it is on backwards. The can side should be attached to the bracket and the rod side to the tie rod. Might need a couple thick washers to space it out enough. If the can is too fat just put a factory one on. It is skinnier and will work just fine.

It can be used either way. I ran it the way Dan has it mounted because of clearance issues and it was fine until I installed my hydro. I didn't have the raised track bar bracket or the weird track bar though. 🤔

I looked at it and it didn’t seem directional . Agree the SS TB is monstrous . The evo drag link flip bracket shouldn’t be an issue tho .lets see what else could be wrong tho. Don’t think I need the SS if I fix underlying issues . Just weird because this all started as soon as I mounted the 37s

With the SS off go drive over potholes & bumps at various speeds and see if you can induce wobble. Could be that your stabilizer was just twanging the trackbar when you stuffed the suspension going over a bump and that induced some wobble.
If you still get the wobble there's another problem. Did you weld on the front track bar bracket?

I understand it can be mounted either way but if you think about where it is hitting flipping it would gain a lot of clearance for the track bar and stop it from rubbing on the bracket at full right turn. They usually come with a post that can be bolted to the bracket which will gain even more space and puts the stabilizer more on top of the Tie rod. Some people don’t like the post attachment so the just use a spacer and a longer bolt. Oh and throw away the red boot. Lol!

Hmm mine didn’t come with a post . Think I may need a spacer . I tried attaching it the other way and the white fat part of the shock was hitting the bracket . This was why I flipped it

I didn't know they sold the post by itself. When I installed mine to replace the stock one, I used their kit RS5510 to relocate above the tie rod.

So, yeah, if you didn't get the post, it makes sense that the bushing pulled out. I wasn't even thinking about that part of it.

Fwiw that post kit is a throwback from old Chevy truck front shock mounts. I used to have a drawer full of them when I worked at the tire shop.

[emoji23] Mine is like that too, although I may need a double setup to prevent wall wobble.

Just lean your old drag link at the proper angle to offset the angle of the tie rod. That should keep the wall from wobbling too much.

If it still shakes, balance the load in the washer. Spin cycle is a bitch on walls🤣🤣

The post comes with their relocation kit they sell that you're supposed to get separately.

Since the shock is bent might as well get the shock with post which is #RS5407

Thanks. I’ll prob just drive it without for now until I can tell if anything else is wrong . New tie rod is next and we will go from there
