my car makes a noise from the tranny area when i put it in gear. its not inside the tranny though. i think its the torque arm bushing because its not a hard jerk. ive had the torque arm and tranny both off the car before but i did use different bolts for the TA. what do u guys think? 01 TA with 90k

i don't know, but if you use polys for the torque arm, you will notice better traction, well worth the change and if you don't already have a poly tranny mount you should put one on there unless you don't like vibration after 120mph gets a little shakey after 120 with a poly

should i move this to suspension for more results?

i also think i got a bad spindle on the driver side. hear a chirping at slower speeds, mainly when the car sits a few minutes. gets quieter after some driving but deff something suspension wise.

is a poly torque arm mount worth it on a stock torque arm? 100% DD

The Poly mount will be alot cheaper. Its $18 at autozone, they just need to order it. If you go the the dealership they will sell you the whole brackets that come attached to the bushings. Here it was around $85. If you go poly, you just reuse the bracket and slide it in.

Oh yeah, the stock torque arm mouts tear easily which makes it a pain to ahve to change it every couple of month. Save time and money and get the poly, I didnt notice any chances compared to stock, but im glad i dont have to change it soon.

so u didn't get vibrations over 120?

What does the noise sound like? My WS6 was making a *clink* sound whenever I would put it in gear or accelerate off idle. Turned out it was the driveshaft flexing.

yea its kinda like that. thats y i figured its the TA touching maybe the braket because it might be worn out. how did u fix that? i don't really feel it like i would the driveshaft bearings. do u have a different rear? mine could be due to rebuilt salvage.

Mr. Brett

It was the driveshaft itself. It's a known problem with the factory aluminum driveshafts on f-bodies. I switched to a steel driveshaft and the noise went away.

Yes, it is defently. I have a stock torque arm.

Lift your car and place it on jack stands. Then move the torque arm, you'll see how it easily moves(at least mine move a lot before i added the poly bushing to the stock torque arm. You will feel a noticable difference.
