Had a little problem today i just got home from GLD . Sorry i ran off with out saying bye guys. I did good my first pass left at only 4200 to see how the track was and took it easy cuz 2nd was allover the place and ran a 11.70 at 120 with a 1.70 60. But the 2ND time NO GOOD. left the tree at 5500 and right after it hooked bang smack smack then i pushed in the clutch and costed down the track drove it back to the pit's then called a good friend with a flatbed how is only 20mins from GLD payed for his fuel and got us some beers and took some pics at home of what broke.
The drive shaft is okay but its going to get new u joints and dyno balanced and the rear is fine to Just need a new UMI T/Q arm.

Is this the early or later style TA?

Looking further at the pics, it seems to be the earlier style of the TA. I hope the later one holds up better! Good luck! UMI seems to have stand up customer service, so I'm sure they'll take care of you!

It is one of our earlier designs.... the break happened at a part of the metal where the heat has conducted from the weld resulting in a stress area. This is why it has broke after the weld and not on the weld. We do have vehicles still running single digit times on this older design... so not every arm has failed, just a few freak ones here and there.
Please PM me your name and address and we will get you a new torque arm out to replace that free of charge.
Thank you,
Ryan
