Exhaust clamps for the rear swaybar. Fluid. Zipties to secure brake lines/etc.

I went with the better yoke and needed a new u joint. Go to Napa and ask for number 447. Visually it doesnt look much different from stock, but trust me, you`ll need to swap it out.
You`ll also have to have the axle bearings pressed on after the backing plates. The instructions werent very clear on this part.
I guess you can use exhuast clamps for the rear sway bar, but I just ordered the mounting kit from Spohn and it worked out real nice. Depends on your budget I guess.
And, you`ll also probably want to paint it. It doesnt come painted. A friend put POR15 on his, but I clear coated mine and it looks killer, I dont know how long the clear coats going to work though.
Oh and make sure Moser sends you the nuts for the backing plate bolts. They cheaped out on me on this part and I had to wait till morning for the hardware store to open.
