Replace
the flimsy factory torque arm on your Camaro and Firebird with a durable Spohn
tubular version and put the power where it belongs - the
pavement! Built from 1.25" x .120" DOM tubing with a heavy-duty
3/8" thick rear mounting bracket. Bolts directly in place of the
factory torque arm using all factory mounting locations. Requires no
welding or drilling. 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
Provides
adjustable pinion angle

Specifications:
Constructed
of 1.25" o.d. x .120" wall DOM 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!
Polyurethane
bushing front mount for minimal road noise
Rear of
the 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 used.
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.
Entire
package is a complete bolt-in assembly using existing mounting points
on the vehicle. No drilling or welding is required!
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 and/or aftermarket rear ends
Available
powder coated in your choice of the above colors
NOTE:
1982-1992 cars require the use of a factory torque arm bushing
clamshell mount designed for bushing type 7-1609. If your vehicle is
equipped with a 7-1611 type bushing, you will need to get the 7-1609
type clamshell (See above pictures). This does not apply to
1993-2002 cars.

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.
