Alright so on monday, I put on a set of drag radials that I got off a friend. Then on wednesday, I had already broke the front mount that hold the torsion bar to the side of the tranny (just the bolt came out). No big deal, go purchase new bolt, put in, tighten everything down as much as possible and go on my way. Well.. yesterday, I was a dumbass. I took off a little too fast in reverse... Evidently, the BfGoodwrench Comp T/A's didn't give way and my whole axle just shook up and down pretty violently. So I pull up a little bit and notice something laying on the ground. Get out and pick it up. ****! That pos broke again.. So I go and buy another bolt and today go to put it on. This time, everything is ****ed. I need a whole new mount assembly and new torsion bar (it's perminatly twisted). But there's another thing. Where the top bolt screws into the side of the tranny, the housing around the bolt hole broke off on the side of the tranny. WTF do I do??? I cannot afford a new ****in t-56!!! Esp. when mine is damn good except for one small place. DAMN IT... Any suggestions? I was thinking of just welding that bitch in there but I dunno if that's even possible.. Thanks for any help.

 

Spohn makes a torque arm crossmember combo where the torque arm mounts to the crossmember instead of the back of the tranny, check it out here

a lot stronger.

 

Thats exactly what i was thinking.. I am thinking that the hole was cracked anyway and it just finally let go.. Sure there is no hole there as well? that will allow fluid to escape and debris in? if not then splurge on the spohn unit or the BMR one. and forget about it.. Ground Clearance on the spohn is a lil bit low though so if i was you i'd get the straight one.. not the one for the LT's..
