Spohn Adj. Torque Arm - LS1.
This crossmember mounted adjustable torque arm for the 1993-2002 F-Body is for vehicles not running long tube headers/y-pipe set ups. This crossmember has been designed for use with vehicles running the stock y-pipe, or "shorty" headers/y-pipe, or aftermarket y-pipes that connect to the OEM exhaust manifolds that do not need the extra exhaust clearance that is provided on our long tube version torque arm kit. This kit is perfect for lowered vehicles as it provides for minimal ground clearance loss.
The only exception to the above is for cars equipped with Mac mid-length headers and y-pipe combination or the Kook's long tube headers and the Kook's y-pipe. The Mac and Kook's header/y-pipe set up will work with this straight across crossmember. The option below for a driveshaft loop only applies to cars equipped with the Mac mid-length or Kook's headers and y-pipe.
Driveshaft Loop(s) Option: Only choose a driveshaft loop(s) if your car is equipped with the Kook's headers and Kook's y-pipe, or the Mac mid-length headers and y-pipe. Cars equipped with the factory, or a manifold connected factory style y-pipe (ie. SLP), the y-pipe will not clear the front loop.
NOTE: Do not get a rear driveshaft safety loop if your car is lowered, or if you have an SLP "Loud-Mouth" cat-back exhaust system.

- 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 QA1 extra high strength, chrome moly spherical rod end with Teflon�/Kevlar� self lubricating race for those who demand the best in bind-free performance and strength
- FREE angle finder included to set pinion angle
