Question for those with body mounted torque arm i put this in the gears section too, but i figured i'd cover all the bases and post it over here as well...
Looking around this site, it seems like some have picked up some gear whine when they switched over to a body mounted t/a, and other have not....I have a spohn adjustable body mounted torque arm and since installing it i have a TERRIBLE whine from about 55-75mph...i can deal with a lot of noise, but this is like a demon is trapped in my pumpkin....
just want to hear from those who have a similar t/a and what your experience was, if you picked up noise or if you did anything to change the noise, thanks

Make sure all the bolts are tight. They are grade 10, and can handle any tightness your hands can throw at it.

I have a body mounted ta and I have a lot of clunking in reverse, and also downshifting. and also accelerating. I believe this is due to me "eyeballing the pinion angle. I also have a pinion angle finder and have been too lazy to check and adjust it.
Check your pinion angle. leave it at 0 or -1 or -2

the clunking comes from the front, your bolts may be too loose or tight. ive tried -2,0,and +2.i'm gonna see if thicker rubber between the xmember & the body helps.

I noticed more gear noise, I assumed it was due to the fact that the arm is more directly bolted to the car instead of in a rubber mount. I have 4:10's so it was not exactly quiet to begin with.
My torque arm is hitting the floor where it meets the rear end, my rear end is off to one side. Bangs when accelerating.
