FOX ATS Steering Stabilizer for 2022 392 XR?

[SargeRubi3.0]

I got the steer smart drag link and tie rod for a 22xr 392, do I need anything else to install it ? I also got the ats ss for a jk it’s what I was told to order.

22 XR. Could not get the FOX axle bracket to fit. Mini sledge persuasion and still no. Could have drilled it, but instead relocated to track bar bolt with tie rod clamp. Removed old tie rod bracket and installed some replacement bolts to fill the holes.

So long as your Steer Smarts tie rod diameter is the same diameter as the stock JK tie rod, then all you need is a replacement track bar bolt (FOX or Synergy), unless you are doing a relocation bracket (e.g. Metalcloak). The JK kit comes with the tie rod clamp in lieu of the axle bracket (I have the JL kit and replaced my stabilizer’s axle bracket with a FOX tie rod clamp and I have the Synergy tie rod clamp as well (uninstalled)). The JK kit’s spacers are both thin/the same thickness, whereas the JL kit’s spacers are different (one thicker and one thinner, as needed if using the OEM tie rod stabilizer bracket). Either set of spacers works for track bar bolt mounting (and are better than washers). I can provide the exact measurements (thickness) of the spacers, if needed (as I had ordered extras of both direct from FOX). Those are the only ATS kit differences beyond cosmetics.

I'm seeing so many different threads on whether or not the Fox SS ATS actually fits the 392 from 2022 onward for an XR package. Has anyone confirmed they were able to install this thing successfully without any alignment issues for the bolts? I know you have to buy the old 15MM bolt.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, i can't find ANY consistent information on this anywhere

Thanks

Works on/for some and not for others. FOX knows of the issue. Unclear if the problem is on their end (bad batch of brackets) or on Jeep’s end (e.g. axle casting variance). Only one way to find out. Easy to overcome if an issue, if needed. Any questions, let me know, as I did this the hard way and went through all options.

Yes, I have it on my ‘22 392XR. For the most part it fits without any problem. On mine the bracket it came with was very slightly off. I just had to brace it slightly with a large screwdriver while I threaded one of the bracket bolts, then tightened them all down and it was fine. Others have reported their brackets fit without problem, so I think it’s just random slight manufacturing variation. The reservoir can be swiveled and adjusted to fit without rubbing anything.

The only thing I found was that Jeep changed the carriage bolt on the ‘22+ models and put a longer carriage section on the bolt that wont work with the Fox bushings. I recommend you order the original pre-22 carriage bolt (part# 6510774AA). See pic below for side by side of the bolts. I installed mine about 6-7 months ago, so not sure if Fox has since made their own accommodation for the carriage bolt issue or not, but this was necessary for mine.

The underside of my jeep didn’t look that clean the day I bought it! incredible!

Ha! Yes, that was short lived. Not even remotely that clean these days. The pic was taken a couple days after I originally took delivery when I installed the stabilizer.

No problem installing Fox ATS on my 2022 392 XR. I did have to order the pre-2021 bolt.

How has your experience been with it on now? Also would you mind sharing where you bought yours from? Thank you!
