What
is the difference between our Standard Duty crossmember
mounted torque arms and our Pro-Series crossmember mounted torque arms?
We knew you'd ask, click here
for a comparison and explanation.
Spohn Pro-Series torque arms are the strongest and hardest
hooking torque arms on the market. This crossmember mounted Pro-Series
adjustable torque arm is for vehicles not
running long tube headers/y-pipe set ups. This
crossmember has been designed for use on the 1993-2002 F-Body Camaro and Firebird 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 Pro-Series torque arm kit.
This kit is perfect for lowered vehicles as it provides for minimal
ground clearance loss.
If you need bullet-proof strength, serious performance,
improved handling, and pavement digging traction when you're at the
dragstrip, AutoX, or road racing; then you need a Spohn Performance
Pro-Series 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!
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

Specifications:
Constructed of TIG welded 1.50" o.d. x .120" wall (main
beams) and 1.25" x .095" wall (bracing) 4130N chrome moly tubing
Heavy-duty dual 1.25" x .120" DOM
tube crossmember with integral torque arm mounting system
Polyurethane bushing front mount version for minimal road
noise.
Integral grease fitting allows for lubrication of the polyurethane
bushing
Rod ended front mount version utilizes an extra high
strength chrome moly spherical rod end with Teflon
self lubricating race for those who demand no bushing
deflection and the best in bind-free
performance and strength.
Del-Sphere front
mount version
utilizes an extra high strength chrome moly Del-Sphere pivot
joint for those who demand no bushing deflection and the best in street-friendly
bind-free performance and strength
Unique rotating front torque arm mount (thrustator),
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 mount via two 1"-12 NFT x 1" bore x 1 3/8"
thick chrome moly spherical rod ends with Teflon
self lubricating race. Grade 8, 1" bolts and 1" nylock nuts are
supplied.
Integral 1"-12 threaded 4140 chrome moly pinion
angle adjuster between the bottom rear rod end and the bottom
rear torque arm tube allows for easy pinion angle adjustment. A simple
turn of the wrench will give you over 6 degrees of pinion angle
adjustment, it's that simple.
This is a proven product
being run on some of the fastest F-Bodies in the country!
Rear mounting bracket is designed to fit on OEM or
aftermarket rear ends

We
offer
the option of
getting your torque arm with a front driveshaft safety loop:
NHRA rules call for a front driveshaft safety loop to prevent
catapulting of the vehicle in the event of a front u-joint or
driveshaft failure. Protect yourself, and your investment,
and
play it safe by containing the front of the driveline.
