After installing my new PR44 the angle of the steering stabilizer changed from parralel to 15-25* off. There are no clearance issues or binding, will the different angle cause premature ware or any possible issues?

Nope. All it does is move it up and out of the way so you don't smash it on the rocks like you would in the stock location
Thanks! Now I just need to get that last pesky control arm back in. The johnny joint is stuck at max angle and wedged into the axle mount any ideas on whys to get it out or grease the johnny joint to get it moving?(the grease fitting is not accessable)
Mine looks like yours and been working great but I would also like to hear an answer for your question.Is this too much angle? Should I make a bracket to mount to the Evo bracket and level it out?

It wasn't the pitch, it was that I didn't have it parallel. That thing looks pretty steep, but I don't have any experience with that.BaddestCross mentioned that his Rancho 5000 folded being at an angle like that.... so maybe it depends on the shock.

Here's mine.

The angle is similar, but the trackbar end mount is rotated 90 degrees from yours so the bushing rotates rather than scrunches as the steering moves side to side.

This might be an option.Yeah, that seems way better the way you have it... with the coupler style at the tie rod, I don’t really have that option... So I think I’ll weld some tabs here (red circle) and level it out once I see the new shock. Going with Fox now.

I would think that if Evo designed the front bracket with the hole in that location that obviously the light angle is fine.

I’m not buying that. Look at the stress on the bushing.

Here's the post where I put up pics of the second stabilizer I installed. If you scroll a few posts up from it, you'll see the first one. I originally had it rolled forward per the instructions - or my misunderstanding thereof - but the height is fine on both.

I'm guessing that track bar bracket assumes you did a raised track bar?

Which Fox stabilizer are you getting? I've looked up a few of them online and they all say they're high pressure nitrogen charged. Does Fox do something different so they won't pull to the left?
