Check the four bolts that attach the torque arm to the rear, I'll bet they are loose. Bob

We've tried loctite on the four bolts, which has not always worked for us. We have resorted to tack welding the nuts to the bolts as a permanent solution. Bob

Yeah check them as I broke the mounting plate in half on my Spohn TA because of the bolts loosening. Bob's brother Jon can attest to this as he found and fixed the problem. If they have gotten to move around for too long, look forward to heli-coils and bigger bolts.

A couple years back, My friend asked me to get under the car and remove his Torque arm as he was putting the car back to stock. I got under there and found all the bolts on the rear end hand tight. We were both very surprised to say the least. I guess this is a common issue then?
