Spohn Adj Torque Arm - For Long Tube Headers 1998-02 Camaro / Firebird.
This crossmember mounted adjustable torque arm for the 1998-2002 F-Body is for vehicles running long tube headers/y-pipe set ups. If you are running Mac mid-length headers and y-pipe, or the Kook's long tube headers with the Kook's y-pipe, you can use our torque arm package with the straight crossmember.
Spohn Performance fully adjustable torque arm,
here's what it'll do:
New design will work with all Long Tube Headers!!
- Attaches to the rear axle and controls rear
end torque during acceleration, transferring this energy into the tires,
increasing straight line traction
- Reduces nose-dive during braking
- Eliminates wheelhop
- Increases sidebite during corner exit
acceleration
- Bolt-on system does not require complete
interior removal as with other kits
- No fabrication, welding or drilling
required - 100% bolt-in installation!
- Removes the torque arm pivot point from the
rear of the transmission to the supplied crossmember
- Changes the instantaneous center and leverage
point from stock
- Provides adjustable pinion angle
- Poly version utilizes polyurethane front
mount to keep noise at a minimum
- Rod ended version utilizes a chrome moly
spherical rod end front mount for those who demand the best
bind-free performance
- Rear mounting bracket designed to mount on to stock, 12
bolt, or Ford 9" rear
- FREE angle finder included to set pinion
angle
Build Specifications:
- Constructed of 1.25" o.d. x .120" wall
DOM (drawn over mandrel) seamless mild steel tubing
- TIG welded 4130 chrome moly threaded tube
adapters
- Heavy-duty 3/8" thick steel rear housing
mounting plates
- Heavy-duty mild steel dual 1.25" x .120"
DOM tube crossmember with integral torque arm mounting system
- Polyurethane bushing front mount for minimal
road noise, Grade 8 hardware is supplied. Integral grease fitting allows for
lubrication of the polyurethane bushing
- Rod ended version utilizes
a chrome-moly spherical rod end front mount for the ultimate in
bind-free performance and strength. Grade 8
hardware is supplied
- Unique rotating front torque arm
mount, this system allows the torque arm to travel fore/aft which is VERY
necessary with a torque arm suspension system. Solidly mounting the front of the
torque arm causes the suspension to bind and hurts your car's handling
drastically. The front rotator tube has an integral grease fitting to allow
for proper lubrication.
- Rear of torque arm mounts to the 3/8"
thick steel rear housing mounting plates via two 3/4"-16 NFT x 5/8" bore x 7/8"
thick solid steel rod ends. These are solid rod ends, not spherical bearing rod
ends, so noise is of no concern. Grade 8 - 5/8" bolts and 5/8" nylock nuts are
supplied.
- Integral Pinion Angle Adjuster between the
bottom rear solid rod end and the bottom rear torque arm tube allows for easy
pinion angle adjustment. A simple turn of the wrench will give you 6 degrees of
pinion angle adjustment, it's that simple.
- Entire package is a complete bolt-in
assembly using existing mounting points on the vehicle. No drilling or welding
is required!
- NHRA rules require a driveshaft safety loop
on any vehicle running quicker than 13.99, or on any car running slicks.
NHRA rules call for a loop with at least .250" wall thickness, located no more
than 6" from the front u-joint. All Spohn Performance driveshaft safety loops
meet every NHRA specification requirement in both build construction, and
mounting location.
