it just seems like it too small and it digs into the aluminum cover on the rear end, which doesnt make it look too great! this cant be right! any input? do i need an aftermarket one to clear the 12-bolt housing?

thanks,

On a Moser 12 bolt I installed for a friend the stock one worked just fine. We had to loosen all of the clamps and end links then rotate the bar to where it sat good. We tightened the clamps first then the end links.

 

maybe i should try positioning it another way. it looks good when i tighten it up, but then as soon as the weight of the car is back down on it, it swings back up into the rear-end cover.

 

Well then put the jack stands under the axle so that the changes that you make are with the weight already on the axle.
