Exclamation Spohn Torque Arm Questions???

I got my adjustable cross-member mounted Spohn T/A installed and got the pinion right and all that god stuff, but it sounds like there's something still loose under there...i know the front of the T/A is supposed to be able to move, but it sounds like it's loose from the rearend or something. Every now and then I'll hear a "clunking" noise or something...just wondering if that's normal for you guys that have this T/A...BTW I got the one for LT's and OMG I HAVE NO GROUND CLEARANCE!!! I drag on everything!!! Anyways...thanks a lot!!!

Re: Spohn Torque Arm Questions???

With stock ride height, and an even bulkier early design (rectangular, not round tubing) Spohn dropped front cross-member for the LT/Mufflex 4" clearance, I don't have any problems with road clearance. When the car was dropped with the Pro-Kits, it was a major problem with ground clearance. I lived in fear of coming across a speed bump.
