Re: torque bar?

I put the drive shaft in then put a jack under the diff and jack the rearend up.. this will aline the diff with the trans.. then just bolt and go.. If I left something out please add.

Re: torque bar?

Not sure about any aftermarket torque arms, but the stock ones just slide into a rubber gromet that bolt to the trans. I've always just slide it into the grommet then bolted it up to the rear from there.

Re: torque bar?

there should be some sort of clamshell-type mount with integrated rubber bushings, that hinges on the bottom and can be bolted shut on the top.. there will be 3 bolts on it.. lets see if i can get some kind of picture.. theres what it should sort of look like.. 2 bolts on the bottom through the bottom of the trans tailshaft, and one up top to hold the mount closed..
