I am in the process of installing a complete Midwest chassis suspension in my new X275 car. The rearend is the first installment. This is using the new strange hybrid aluminum rearend and 40 spline gun drilled axles. I will try and keep this in chronological order.

It is hard to picture just how nice these parts are. It is so easy to assemble all of the parts, fit together so well. Eric has the dimensions perfect and the parts operate as smooth as silk.
I took a ton of pictures to make it easy to see how these parts will work in your car and help others with their installation.
It started out with a perfectly crated box of parts.
I started the installation with the anti roll bar mounting in the fuel tank area.

I assembled the rearend housing and torque arm and started to mock everything up

And here is the final product, The rearend has not been squared nor has the pinion angle been set.

Is this a 3rd of 4th gen install. That tq arm is way different than mine.

I'm not familiar with their 4-link (?) setup that goes into the fuel tank area...(is that what it's called?)

Wanna share more info on that?

That is the antiroll bar, Installing it there instead of on the axle is a cleaner and lighter system.
Thanks for all of the kind words. Hope to post the front end soon

Did they change the way the tq arm is mounted with the multi link system as you have?

I'd venture a geuss the tq arm is different to accomodate the 9" drop out center section. Beautiful components there.

That is one of the options avialable
