Symptoms of worn torque arm?
Sometimes when I let off the gas or let off the brakes I can hear and feel a clunk from the rear. It also happens during low rpm shifts. Is that the torque arm or bushings wearing out? Or possibly my rear end? I changed fluid recently and the gears looked fine, though with no shredding or shards.

The most common cluncking noise that occurs when you let off the gas is casued by bad drive shaft U-joints. As said above, another common problem causing is is torn tranny mounts.

I have the same clunk sound when you get on the brakes. I also notice mine when tossing it in reverse and starting to let the clutch out. I replaced the tranny mount already, and I've put a new torque arm bushing in there too. I might have to get to a drive on lift and check it out with a buddy.
