The bolt holding in my steering stabilizer is rubbing on the tie rod/drag link joint. It has done this since Ive had the jeep but i want to do something about it. Any advice?

In the picture above was taken with the wheels turned all the way look at the stops on your knuckles to see if there missing or worn down. If so, replace the bolt and jam nut.
 
Could the bracket holding the steering stabilizer be bent? i just looked at it again and it looks a little wonky.

Are the control arms too long? Are they adjustable? I'm sure somebody else will probably recognize the arms with two holes like that. That might push the axle into it. My bracket bows out exactly like yours for what it's worth.

grind the head of the bolt if it's just barely contacting, or bend the link more, or pull the axle back a hair.
