Any else with installed pics of the bolt-on version?

I got my MWC ARB the other day and no instructions. Just want to make sure I'm doing it right.

Housing doesn't matter with our bent style ARB. If you do not have weld on swaybar brackets you will just need to purchase a set with your order.

It's the bolt-on version. Thanks for those pics, it helped out on where to place it. Basically the new supplied brackets replaced the factory ones the held the end links rights?

Here is our help link. Choose ARB instructions.

The ARB doesn't care where it is at with-in reason.

tnmotown it may be time to get rid of those poly LCA, no settings are going to work consistently with that style bushing.

Yeah I seen those instructions but I must be confusing myself on where to initially set the adjustment. Also waiting for a buddy to come over and sit in the car while I adjust it.

Setting it up is extremely easy, it will all make sense once you are under there.

Let me know when you are ready for LCA and we will take care of you.

Not to hijack the thread but I just installed my MWC ARB and my driver side doesnt have any free play in the link while the passenger side does. There is constant tension on the driver side link. Is this normal?

That is how the ARB is set up in the direction.

Set drivers sire Heim joints to three threads past the jamb nuts and tighten. Drivers side is done.

With the driver in the vehicle and all four tire pressures set establish a neutral load position with the passenger link then add a half turn. and tighten everything up and then your done.

This means the drivers side the bolt will not slide in and out easily on the drivers side when loaded and before the 1/2 turn the passenger side bolts will slide in and out with ease.

Got it. I was just worried because I thought both links should have free play to spin for Pre-load. Can you clarify why the 3 threads on the driver side is required?

You never want more thread showing on a heim joint passed the nut that is wider than the heim itself.

Does anyone have any pics of this ? Specifically the back side on a 12 bolt. Is the anti roll bar tube centered with the axle tube ?

I am not entirely sure I understand your question but the ARB will be located by the mounts attached to the housing themselves. If those mounting locations are not centered then the ARB will not be centered.
