I have fitment issues on my Strano adjustable rear in my '99 T/A. It has the Moser 12 bolt with factory welded swaybar perches(no muffler clamps needed).
Here's my problem:
-The supplied Strano brackets are a lot wider than the factory swaybar holes.(mine are 3 1/8" while his are 3 5/8" center to center).

If I elongate the holes to fit the ubolt and swaybar bushing bracket, it would only leave me about 1/8" to the end of the factory perch for material to support the swaybar.

What are my options?
-I heard I could use the Spohn kit, but looking at the kit, it doesn't have the adjustable endlinks so I would be paying $79 for just the correct center to center bushings.

-Would the geometry be adversely affected by using the Strano ubolt/clamp setup adjacent to the Moser factory perch?

-Any other ideas? I can't believe that I'm the only one who had this problem with the 12 bolt.

Well, I installed it with the supplied Strano brackets next to the factory Moser perch and it looks like it will work.

Could you have picked up a set of Energy mounts? They appear to be about $20 to do it right.

I have the same bar, but was luck it fit my MWC 9. I think it was 22mm.

Actually I installed the included bracket and u bolts right next to the factory Moser perch and it seems to be working fine. I just needed to relocate from the stock mount. Next up is a watts link and front lower a arms.

So your Moser had welded sway bar mounts? Mine had bolt ons. Hopefully with your Fayes it all fits. I had to move my mounts over to make room for the Fayes clamps. I also had to bore a hole through the axle clamp for the breather tube in the axle. As well has a bunch of mods to clear the rear aluminum cover.





My old Moser.

Ugh, that doesn't sound good, looks like I'll have to grind off the old brackets to make room then. My 12 bolt was made in 2010, so maybe they stopped doing the brackets for yours?

I bought mine in 2004. I guess like everything, things change. You still have the option of the new swaybar mount. They are like $20 for a pair.

Maybe I'll work on my brakes next,lol. I have to get motivated to grind on that axle for a while. Thanks for the heads up on the install of your watts.

Here's an older pic of my rear, you can see the welded perches for the swaybars in it.
