Default Rear Sway Bar: Help: Can I mount????

My exhaust pipes look like they'd be in the way when I try to mount my rear sway bar. Does it appear that it will pose any problems? Dropping my exhaust would be a hard thing to do since EVERYTHING is welded. Look at the pic and see what you thing. Maybe pics of your rear sway bar would help.




Thanks,
Aaron :cheers:

Aaron,

Here's a pic of mine (not attached to the trailing arms):



It seems feasible to me...

I've changed mine several times sucessfully. I have welded exhaust.

It looks like the only major issue would be the exhaust getting in the way of
bolting up the bushing brackets to the frame rails. If so, you should be able
to undo the tailpipe from the hanger and temporarily push the pipe enough
to the side for access. Getting the bar up in there - above the exhaust shouldn't
be an issue with the wheels off (jack stands).

You want a challenge ? I took out and replaced the tranny with a fully welded
dual exhaust. I had to drop the exhaust WITH the crossmember. Getting it
back up in place was not easy, either. :crazy:

Good luck. :seeya
