UMI Torque Arm Relocation Kit - Manual LS1 1998-02 Camaro V8.
The torque arm relocation kit from UMI Performance is designed to remove the front mounting point of the torque arm off the transmission and protect the tail shaft from damage. General Motors tail shaft mounted design works great for a stock driven vehicle however it is not designed to take abuse and hard launches. This set-up replaces your transmission cross member with a new stronger set-up with a built in torque arm mount. Each relocation kit is designed to fit a specific transmission and will work with virtually any stock style aftermarket torque arm as well as the factory torque arm. This unit is built using rectangular mild steel tubing, 0.188” mild steel mounting plates and includes all appropriate hardware needed for the installation. The torque arm mount is machined from 0.250” thick mild steel and features a new clam shell for appropriately attaching the torque arm to the new cross member. Please use the FAQ’s below for additional information.

Q:Does this new relocation kit reduce ground clearance? A: No, our cross member is designed to tuck tight against the vehicle chassis and will not effect vehicle ground clearance. Q: Which brand torque arms will this work with?A: This set-up will work with virtually any torque arm on the market as long as it bolts into the stock location. It will also work excellent with the stock torque arm. Q: Does this add additional weight to my vehicle?A: No, this cross member in most cases will save weight over the stock unit while being structurally stronger. Q: Does this kit require any drilling or welding? A: This kit is 100% bolt in and requires no drilling, no cutting and no welding. It bolts in place of the stock cross member using the existing holes. Note: This product must be used with a solid one-piece polyurethane bushing.
