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.
This Standard Duty crossmember mounted
adjustable torque arm provides a tunnel
brace that is designed to clear long tube headers and y-pipe set-ups on the 1993-2002 F-Body Camaro and Firebird.
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
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
Heavy-duty dual 1.25" x .120" wall DOM
tubular crossmember with integral torque arm rotator mounting system. Our rotating front torque arm mount (thrustator)
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.
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
Rear
of torque arm mounts to the 3/8" steel rear housing mounting bracket
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
4140 chrome moly 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.
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 stock and/or aftermarket rear ends
Available powder coated in your
choice of the above colors
We offer the option of getting
your torque arm with a front and rear 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 shaft failure. While a
rear u-joint or shaft failure will not catapult the vehicle, it will
take out anything in it's way, ie. rears, suspension components, brake
lines, floor boards, etc. Protect yourself, and your investments, and
play it safe by containing the front and the rear of the driveline.
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.
4130N Upgrade: The
ultimate in bullet-proof lightweight strength,
100% TIG welded chrome moly construction! Same as above, but torque arm
is constructed entirely from 1.25" x .095" 4130N chrome moly tubing.
