torque arm broken??? well i was just driving down the road and hit a decent bump and heard a loud BANG! and felt it as well. every other bump i hit i could hear the bang and feel it hit the bottom of the car. WTF! so i drive home...very slowly, jack the car up, then start turning the rear wheels back and forth and i can see the rear swaying back and forth, then i look at the forward end of the torque arm and it just moves freely, like it is disconnected. is this a common problem for them? how much is it to replace as well?

I'm assuming you have the tailshaft mounted version but I would check that. This happened to my buddy also and it cracked the tailshaft. He ended up having to get a new one.
