torque arms
Is getting a chrome moly one worth it if your not planning to make 600hp? Same question for getting an adjustable one. Im just trying to weight the whole cost/benefit thing. I need a new torque arm bushing and im gonna be getting an aluminum driveshaft from John(which should be coming.....sometime............) And i gotta take all that junk apart so im like why not. Ill just replace the torque arm. Hopefully it will help with my traction problems. Anyways...Whats your guys opinions of torque arms?

Re: torque arms
ya deff. go for it....i would also go ahead and get the adjustable poly one....with those poly bushing you wont have to ever wory about them and with the adjustable torque arm you can dial it in me to work better for you....i also hear they are better if you have a lowered car

Re: torque arms
ill definetly go for the poly bushings. I just dont know if i want to spring the extra cash for the torque arm made out of chrome moly(some stronger type of metal) or just get a steel one.

Re: torque arms
chrome moly saves a bunch of weight off of the steel and it stonger as well. and of course less weight = faster

Re: torque arms
the stock one flexes a lot when put under a lot of stress doesnt it? I just dont know if have adjustable anything is going to make a huge difference. what does having adjustable control arms do for you? or adjustable panhard bars? What if i did solid everything and even did the control arm relocation brackets?

Re: torque arms
Geno in all honesty your stock one will probably suck up a lot of the power you could be putting to the wheels, I would upgrade if I were you.

Re: torque arms
I will get mine together and get a pic this weekend for you.
The stocker against the new UMI piece. You can just tell this thing will aid weight transfer and rear bite.
