Default Wolfe Anti-Roll Bar Install Question

When I am installing my new Wolfe Anti-Roll bar, should the torque arm be removed?

No, the torque are remains. The sway bar and Torque arm do different jobs. Our sway bar does not eliminate any of the suspension components.

No, no, no....sorry I wasn't clear. You misunderstood my question. When I am mocking up the anti-roll bar and letting the suspension hang by the shocks as your instructions say, do I need to also unbolt the torque arm to allow move movement of the rearend housing? None of the install pictures on your webpage had a torque arm in place when the anti-roll bar was being installed.

No, you do not have to disconnect the torque arm.

I have a question as well. I had my father weld up mine this afternoon and when I came back, its centered, but the tabs on the mounts are not sitting on the shock brackets, they're about an inch away from them and the bar sits real close to the housing. Its kinda late now to undo it without a lot of cutting and grinding, but will this have any negative affect?

Will have no effect, as long at it is welded square on the rearend. The tabs are there for a alinment. Seems some rearend are built different so the tabs don't always touch the shock bracket as originally designed.

I wouldn't worry about it.
