That bracket looks like it clamps on the steering rod. On my WJ, it's clamped just behind the pinch clamp for the tie rod end on the passenger's side. The big bolt is for the stationary bracket on the frame.

Welcome to the forum.

The steering stabilizer is a long blade welded onto the axle.

If proper operation is to be restored, then that part should be recreated.

Nice pic and pretty paint, but it hardly shows the stabilizer at all.

The part that rusted off is above the rotor.
