Metalcloak Rear Sway Reinforcement Plate

[tonywin]

Just installed the MC reinforcement plate. My old tab didn’t break off, just wanted to add the plate for good measure. However my rear links aren’t parallel anymore with the added 1/4” thickness of the plate on top of the original tab.

Anyone have issues or did I do something wrong?

Edit: I just emailed MC and will call them in the morning. I will report back what they say.

What doesw the other side look like. My guess is that the sway bar has shifted slightly to driver side.

Tony mine looks similar on a unlifted Mojave, your sway bar bolt might be a little different, but not really. I guess having a offset sway link would be the only fix, if there is even a need for a fix…..Jack

I’d also like to throw in here the question of if anyone has made these work with the rear rockbloks mounts? They utilize the same frame attachment point.

Never mind, that only happens up front.

Woah that doesnt look right at all. Seems to me the MC sway link your using has too large of a joint

I was thinking that too. I sent MC a picture. I’ll see what they’ll say.

It's not ideal, but it's also not a big deal either. Similar to a lift install with the axle shifted 3/4" to one side. Control arms, shocks, swaybar links etc all no longer parallels. Only way to get it parallel again is a 1/4" offset bend links, similar to the front links.

I have the rear RokBlokz on my Mojave and are in the picture I posted, I had to make a small cut with a hacksaw to make them fit. Somewhere there is a thread in that.
