I had been hearing that an aftermarket torque arm will just break the 10 bolt. I thought it was supposed to HELP?! What's the deal? Don't the A4 cars preload the rearends, helping them to deal with hard launches? Wouldn't a better torque arm just help protect the rear end more? Teach me!!!!

its not gonna break the 10 bolt. the A4 are easier on the rear end. the rear ends breaknig because the gears in them are weak and snap teeth off. there is nothing you can do to really prevent that.

I have had a Random Technology torque arm on my '95 formula for 5 years and on my '01 formula for 5 years..best traction equip..I can think of.

An automatic will be much easier on a rear end and will most likely last longer then a manual car. I feel an aftermarket torque arm can actually help prolong the life of the rear end internals. An aftermarket arm will reduce the wheel hop that a stock arm can cause and this is very hard on the gears. So I actually feel adding an aftermarket torque arm will not hurt the rear as long as it is driven correctly.

This is my theory, hope that helps!

I highly recommend to have an adjustable torque arm when a vehicle is lowered. When you lower the vehicle you alter the driveline angle, an adjustable torque arm will allow you to lower the vehicle but still maintain the correct driveline angle.

Hope that helps!
