I just swapped out my rear end and I have everything connected but the torque arm, it is about an inch short of being connected, am I missing something here?? do I need to disconect some things to get it on there?

immediate response would be good, as i'm doing this right now!!!

 

I'm not sure if this will help or not as I'm about to swap my hind end also.

Try the following thread:

Note that: Shocks then Tq Arm and then LCA.

Not sure, check it out.

 

thanks man, that did help out, as i was unsure as to the order to put everything back...

 

I've been through this twice, and the order I reconnected was LCAs, panhard, torque arm, springs, shocks.

The LCAs locate the rear front-to-back; the panhard side-to-side; the torque arm rotationally; and the springs and shocks were put in last for safety reasons.
