Short Torque Arms
 

 
Adjustable Short Torque Arm (Versions differ in appearance)

NEW!!!

Adjustable short torque arm for use with true duals with an X-Pipe. Now you don't have to choose between the performance of true duals or a stronger torque arm! Take them both with the all new design that follows the contours of the body and allows true duals to be run without setting them so low they will get ripped off on the first trip over a speed bump.

The torque arm is one of the most vital components in the suspension setup on the F-body vehicles. As such an equally strong part should placed in this important position. The stock stamped steel torque arms tend to flex and cause a great deal of power loss to the vehicle.

These adjustable tubular torque arms are made from 1.00" X .156" wall DOM tubing for optimal strength. All torque arms are adjustable and utilize oversized 3/4" rod ends made by QA1. These are high quality rod ends with a self-lubricating Teflon-lined race for durability. These short versions all mount at the tunnel brace location near the center of the vehicle. Torque arms also feature a heavy duty 3/8" rear axle mounting bracket for optimum so that stress fractures and metal fatigue do not occur.

There are three versions of this type of torque arm available to accommodate a variety of vehicle setups. Please give careful consideration as to which arm is right for you baseed on your current and future modifications to your vehicle. The first model will only clear the stock exhaust or most aftermarket exhausts with mid-length or stock exhaust manifolds. The second model will clear most exhaust setups with full-length headers installed. The third version is designed to work with true dual exhaust setups with an X-Pipe. For more information please call or send an e-mail. Please note that these torque arms will not work with all exhaust setups.

There will be a noticeable difference in how the car puts its power to the ground. With the shorter acting arm the rear axle is not given as much range of motion and is therefore forced to put the power somewhere, which is to the ground.

The short torque arm also has the added benefit of removing the stress from the tail housing of the transmission. In high horsepower or more thoroughly used vehicles the tail housing can break or crack due to the added stress. The short arm removes this from the transmission.

Key Benefits

• Increased strength over stock unit for better delivery of power to ground
• Adjustable to correct pinion angle and compensate for sagging springs or lowering springs when installed
• Less give through the use of polyurethane bushings and high quality QA1 rod ends
