More Dana 60 question..bmr torque arm, bmr bolt on relocation brackets,etc
It looks like my bmr bolt on relo brackets work with the dana. Anyone else using them? Also do I have to do any modding to my bmr full length torque arm for the s60?
And what sway bars are you guys running on the s60s and what if anything did you have to do to get them to work.I think maybe they welded on my sway bar mounts too far out on my dana 60 or my hotchkis is not going to allow me to move my sway bar mounts far enough outward to work well.
I don't want to run stock sway bar so will maybe just order another brand and use my hotchkis on my other fourth gen.
Also reading think one guy had problems with dana housing or torque arm part hitting under the car. Anyone else have this problem or is that only on highly lowered cars? My car has maybe one inch drop.

i had to cut my torque arm where it bolts th pinion housing. i have a spohn ta with the 2 sets of holes where it bolts to the rear. i had to use the outer set and cut down the middle of the top plate in order to get the holes alighned up. The pinion and ring gear is so big in these rears. so the case is larger. hope this helps. I don't know how the BMR ta is though.

They sent me the wrong diagram. This one is for extreme and track pack only.
I have normal adjustable chrome moly torque arm full length so looks a bit different .So still need a correct one.Did you guys say strange has one on their website and if so where. Bmr should have this on their site but can't find anything.

I tried the front/rear Strano bars. Sam said he had a few customers with S60 using his rear bar but we couldnt get it to come close to fitting, just using his front bar and stock rear until I find one that fits.

Yeah the bmr bolt on were direct plug and play. So the spohn fit good on there? was it the 22 or 25 mm spohn. Since got the smaller 22 mm figure it should fit good. Find out likely next week.I sure miss having sway bars on the car. Car is very floaty without them.Rides nicer but very floaty. Not confidence inspiring at higher speeds.
