Spohn Adj Torque Arm - For Long Tube Headers 1998-02 Camaro V8.
This crossmember mounted adjustable torque arm for the 1998-2002 F-Body is for vehicles running long tube headers/y-pipe set ups. If you are running Mac mid-length headers and y-pipe, or the Kook's long tube headers with the Kook's y-pipe, you can use our torque arm package with the straight crossmember.
Spohn Performance fully adjustable torque arm, here's what it'll do: New design will work with all Long Tube Headers!! - 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
- Poly version utilizes polyurethane front mount to keep noise at a minimum
- Rod ended version utilizes a chrome moly spherical rod end front mount for those who demand the best bind-free performance
- Rear mounting bracket designed to mount on to stock, 12 bolt, or Ford 9 rear
Build Specifications: - Constructed of 1.25 o.d. x .120 wall DOM (drawn over mandrel) seamless mild steel tubing
- TIG welded 4130 chrome moly threaded tube adapters
- Heavy-duty 3/8 thick steel rear housing mounting plates
- Heavy-duty mild steel dual 1.25 x .120 DOM tube crossmember with integral torque arm mounting system
- Polyurethane bushing front mount for minimal road noise, Grade 8 hardware is supplied. Integral grease fitting allows for lubrication of the polyurethane bushing
- Rod ended version utilizes a chrome-moly spherical rod end front mount for the ultimate in bind-free performance and strength. Grade 8 hardware is supplied
- Unique rotating front torque arm mount, 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 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.
- Entire package is a complete bolt-in assembly using existing mounting points on the vehicle. No drilling or welding is required!
- NHRA rules require a driveshaft safety loop on any vehicle running quicker than 13.99, or on any car running slicks. NHRA rules call for a loop with at least .250 wall thickness, located no more than 6 from the front u-joint. All Spohn Performance driveshaft safety loops meet every NHRA specification requirement in both build construction, and mounting location.
