Trying to run down the size of the hole on the stabilizer for a 985-02-127 Fox stabilizer. I have the 128 version of this and ordered all the parts to mount it like a 127, but it appears the hole may be larger on the 128 than a 127. The 128 fits a 1/2” bolt very good. The bolt Fox sent is a M12 which is very sloppy.

Does anyone know the size?
Is this part even removable?

You aren’t threading the bushing sleeve, you are compressing/squeezing it from the ends. If it’s too loose you aren’t tight enough, not too thin.

So you are saying the bolt should be about a 1/16” smaller than the hole is normal?

So you’re wanting to mount a JK version ss in the factory location?
Yes exactly
I had put it on another Jeep and traded it in shortly after. I have all the axle mount stuff already

That’s the opposite of what most guys do, so I was confused…. They sent an m12 because that’s what fits the factory tie rod bracket…. You can press out the bushing in the shock and press in a smaller one, or you can drill out the bracket to fit a half inch bolt….
