New Rear End cover

[Bob Mathis]

I just installed this cover.:banana::)

[MERCULES]

Looks nice !!!

I am by no means a mechanic, but is that one heck of a sway bar I am looking at below it?

[fastblackmerc]

Nice but I'd have installed one with bearing cap support.....

Looks like an Addco sway bar.

[screamn]

Looks sweeeet!!!! :rock:

Nice and shinny with some bling from behind.

It is An Addco sway bar. Put it on when I first got the car in 2003.

I have the same cover and was told the addco sway bar will hit it. Even my stock sway rubs up against it. Any issues?

[crouse]

The drain plug will come in handy. I suck out the old lube by sticking a tube in the fill hole.

[Bob Mathis]

I see that there is a lot of room. Have not had it on the ground yet. But when I put it on it did not look like it was going to rub on the say bar. Know more tomorrow.

What sort of gasket did you use? I have heard the silicone one for the 8.8 works well but not sure if it's worth the expense.

[Bob Mathis]

I used just black RTV. That is what was on it. The cover has a small grove in it to let it make a good seal. I let it set over night before I put oil in it.

It fits fine on issues with the sway bar rubbing.
