It is very possible that you will need an adjustable track bar. You may just be able to relocate your current bar by drilling new holes about an inch or so beside where it's currently mounted on the axel. The best way to go though is an adjustable bar.

The factory one is supposed to have the kink. They're all like that, as are any aftermarket ones you find. IIRC it's for clearance reasons.

If you want to remove it you'll probably have to get one custom made.

Usually when the reverse lights don't come on, it's a problem with the neutral safety switch.

Relatively easy fix - just needs to be cleaned:

My reverse lights had the wires cut behind the socket. Check that before tutu go digging at the neutral safety switch. The electric fan acts s a supplement to the clutch fan. It comes on when the engine gets to a certain temp.

Lift the arm up, press in the plastic tab on the bottom of the plastic connector where it meets the end of the arm, and slide the blade toward the base of the arm.

This is the arm without the blade on it - should help you understand

Nevermind it sent, My wiperblades aren't like that. They have an arm, with a pin in the end that goes into a hole on the blades. Looks like a ratchet without the fitting on the end, just a pin. The blades are pivoted with a spring and they fold back, which i thought loosened the spring's tension on the pin, releasing it, but it doesn't, or at least its too tight. I lubed it up and still can't get it off.

oh ok. In that case there is a latch on the bottom that you rotate off the shaft (the one that attaches to the arm). Unclip that from the shaft and it'll slide right off
