hi fellas i'm back on working on my car after a allot of new changes to my life
wife/baby didn't have enough time for my camaro i got it under control now... enough of me...

what do you guy's think of this torque arm on ebay ??

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...3AAAQ%3AUS%3A1

 

Looks like quality is good from what can be seen of it. I'd bid on it but I wouldn't go to high. Reserve isn't met yet but if it gets close to what some other aftermarket torque arms go for I just buy one of those.

 

As long as you understand its limitations:

-it is not adjustable
-it mounts to the stock front TA bushing mount/tranny tailshaft, not to the body
-tubing wall is thinner than what say, Spohn uses on their torque arms - 0.095" wall vs. 0.120" for Spohn.

 

thanks on the reply's,

good info i think i'll just skip that tq arm and save up for a more heavy duty tq arm. thanks (injuneer)

 

Not to mention that it says "the Reserve is not met" so who knows how much they want for that thing. I would definitely save your money for something more durable.

 

use the vendors...that's why they pay for advertisement on this site. i bought a Torque arm from one of the vendors that deals with junkyard parts and i'm completely happy. i had the arm checked for bends and dents...nothing. i mounted it on the car shortly after and it's still there. costed me 150 to the door, it's adjustable and it's a BMR...not bad for what i got

 

Try to find one that mounts to the body instead of the transmission tailshaft.

 

I've heard a couple of stories about THAT arm snapping cleanly @ the welds on the rearend mount.

The sponsors have the best deals and most often have the best customer
service.

 

Like others have said...Please get a TA that mounts to the tunnel brace and NOT to the tailshaft!!!Ask me how I know...

dont get the one that has it's own mount. the design is fine unless you're putting out some serious HP. also, for street use, the longer arm will have more leverage and be able to control the axle better, causing even less hop than with the shorter arm.

the short arm is mainly for drag...ask anyone over at frrax.com, they'll tell you the same. they talked me out of the short arm mainly because i do street driving and am hardly at the track.

 

The seller wants WAY too much for that , he has been trying to sell it for months, the reserve is TOO HIGH---

 

go spohn floor mounted i drive mine just get the poly bushing on the front i love mine

 

cool all the of the info helped, i'm going with a spohn tq arm floor mounted , that and my qa1 shock & springs should reduce my lousy 2.0-1 60'.

 

Unless your car is lowered get two DS loops...Spohn has that option, unless your car is lowered, then the 2nd loop won't fit...Sure wish I had the rear loop when my DS let go at 6200rpm...
