Difference between the new Spohn TQ Arm and the old one.

I believe there were some people breaking them at the slider joint on the older version.

If you look closer they extended the bottom tube for more support, making it a stronger unit...

Re: Difference between the new Spohn TQ Arm and the old one.

I emailed steve about this...

Adj. Torque Arm - Trans. Mounted VS Adjustable Torque Arm - 700R4/T-5 Trans.

I suppose the one with it's own mount is stronger than the one that mounts
to the tranmission? Putting the load on the unibody instead of the
drivetrain?

100% correct!

making this one the better of the two..

Removes the torque arm pivot point from the rear of the transmission to the supplied crossmember

This one is an EXACT OEM, but stronger...

Bolts directly in place of factory torque arm using all factory mounting locations.
