Eric at mwc told me to put in all the bolts loose, lift the rear to ride height but leave the springs out, and adjust the lcas, phb, and set the pinion angle. Tighten it all up and install the springs.

I plan to do this....when I get my rear.

There is a write up on brutespeed's website for how to install the 9 inch.

One tip that will save you some time. Bolt the TA to the rear and torque to spec before you install the rear. I've done it on jack stands and on a lift, having the ta on the rear is nice either way....plus easier to torque it down on the ground.

How much fluid does this fab 9 housing need? In my instructions it says approx 4 quarts for a 9inch rear, not a fab 9. Not sure if there is any difference.

Another question... How do you mount the stock sway bar onto the rear end? I have the back brace installed and the 3 inch exhaust clamp method wont work since there is additional material there. Is there a kit to buy for this or how has this been installed before?

Either one will take a little over 3 quarts. Bob

On an M9 with the backbrace the exhaust clamp method won't work. The only way I can see to do it is to use brackets such as these. Bob http://shop.brutespeed.com/Moser-730...Moser-7305.htm

With those brackets that you sell, do those come with the lower part as well that connects to the sway bar? I am trying to reuse the stock sway bar. Thanks

This is the lower part, which would require welding it to the rear. Your stock swaybar then bolts up to it. Bob
