OEM Steering Stabilizer / Damper

I am tired of fighting the dual RC Steering damper and decided to go back to the single factory setup. I've got the bracket to mount and waiting on the brown truck to deliver the new damper. Can someone with the factory setup, please post a picture of how it is mounted and also measure the spacing between the ends for me? PFA.

I do not have measurements, but there are 4 detents (2 pair) on the top and bottom of the tie rod for the clamps to settle into.
If you order the correct dampener for your make, you should be fine.

From the outer edge of the fixed bracket to the center of the bolt is 20"


Another measurement from the deep groove on the tie rod to the outer edge of the mounting bracket is just under 10"
