GOOD LUCK! I've had my Spohn Torque Arm on order (waiting list) for 1-1/2 months now directly from Spohn. Nobody has them in stock - not even Spohn. I've had to reschedule my install at Rapid because all I keep hearing is 'you'll receive it in 2-3 weeks' This is after Susan had it switched to drop ship directly to Rapid and personally talked with Steve.

I mean really, how friggin long could it possibly take to bend, weld up a torque arm in a jig and get it powdercoated?

If I have to reschedule again because of this arm not shipping he can stick it where the sun don't shine and I'll go with another mfg. I'm getting VERY tired of these mfg. with the 'if you want it - you'll wait for it' attitude. Maybe they should use some business sense, think ahead, and realize that the season was starting months ago, and have an ample quantity of these in stock.

Meziere is still on the top of my $hit list with their 3 month wait for a pump

00sscam - I must be behind you in line

If these mfg. cause their vendors to lose business, and keep ticking off customers - they'll soon find they have a lot of their product setting on the shelves.

Too bad they don't work for the military (DOD) as I do - they would find out right quick that their contract is CANCELLED if they don't meet their deadlines.

Jammer I sent you an email, but I do not have one in stock. Spohn TQ arms are not a stocking item even for Spohn as there are too many options and styles.

Fellas, I understand your frustration with the wait as I have some customers also waiting on TQ arms, but in reality Spohn is a small family shop and the TQ arms are very popular so it is easy to get back logged when you consider a TQ arm takes 5-6 man hours to build. It is all about quality, not quantity IMO.
