Full length transmission mounted adjustable torque arm for the 1982-2002 F-Body.
Replace your flimsy factory torque arm with a durable Spohn tubular version and put the power where it belongs - the pavement! Built from 1.25 x .120 tubing with a heavy-duty 3/8 rear mounting bracket. Bolts directly in place of factory torque arm using all factory mounting locations. Requires no welding or drilling and clears all factory or aftermarket exhausts. Equipped with an adjuster for changing pinion angle and a new, low deflection polyurethane front bushing. If you want serious performance, handling, and traction when you're at the dragstrip, AutoX, or road racing; then you need a Spohn Performance fully adjustable torque arm, here's what it'll do: - 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!
- Provides adjustable pinion angle
Build Specifications: - Constructed of 1.25 o.d. x .120 wall DOM (drawn over mandrel) seamless mild steel tubing
- Front stub of torque arm is reinforced by TIG welding a piece of 1 solid 4140 chrome moly into the i.d. of the front snub. This is the strongest transmission mounted torque arm on the market = bullet-proof!

- Heavy-duty 3/8 thick steel rear housing mounting plates
- Polyurethane bushing front mount for minimal road noise
- Grade 8 mounting hardware is supplied

- 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.
