so i got a moser 9'' housing and mocking it up tryingto get everything going i see that the stock sway bar does not fit onto the axle housing without rubbing both sides. i have heard about the 3" exhaust clamp on the housing to get it to fit but it don't even fits. anyone have a writeup on it or know what i can do?

When I installed my Moser 9inch I had to use an exhaust clamp, not sure of the size, just measure the axle tube OD and use the proper size clamp. You will have to modify the steel mounting "U" shaped part that the bushing rests in as well. I also had to use a spacer under the sway bar mounts on the rear to lower the bar to clear the rear end. This post also talks about the spacer.

There may be aftermarket mounts that bolt on, but I never looked into them.

Jeremy, my 9" has 3.25" axle tubes. I used exhaust clamps. I had to bend the "U" bolt a little. But, the stock bar with poly bushings fits without hitting anything. Where, exactly, is it hitting on yours?

its hitting on both sides of the bottom of the pumpkin area. i think my tubes are just 3''....? i already bought the 3" exhaust clamps and they fit right over. now on the stock housings there was a tab on the bottom where the actual flange of the clamp contacted the housing. the moser housing has nothing there. do you recommend i weld a tab in place to hold it from spinning around the tube?

Get the BMR sway bar kit. It spaces the sway bar down to clear the axle. I had it for my moser 12 bolt.

Hello
I noticed that you are having clearance issues with your stock sway bar and your axle housing. And I just wanted to leave you know that UMI Performance offers a set of replacement brackets. They will allow you to mount your factory sway bar to the rear end housing. Below is a link to show you what I am explaining.

If you have any other questions feel free to ask.
Thanks

I'm in the middle of getting my 9inch built. And was planning on doing to clamp as well. Worked out fine on my buddy's 98
