Hello,

Who said there was a problem? Sales rep from where?

Our torque will fit on the S60 just as well as any other brand. The problem with the S60 is the housing is so larger it pushes the torque arm to the drivers side and into the tunnel area. You will need to use a adjustable panhard bar to help move the rear end for clearance and also a hammer to dent the tunnel in for more clearance. But again this isn't just with our torque arm, this will be all aftermarket brands I have seen. I only torque arm that will not work is our non-adjustable version.

If you need any help please contact me and I will be glad too.

Thank you!

Ok thanks, I will check with Speed Inc.

All of our torque arms will work fine with the Moser 9" as well, the fit is very good

If you have any questions please let me know. Thank you!

If you are still interested in the S60 rearend we worked with Strange to offer a direct bolt on bracket for that particular application. We offer this bracket at no extra cost to the customer. If you have any questions regarding our product line please feel free to ask
