You cannot just remove the torque arm, you have to have some type of suspension that keeps the rear-end from rotating. This link may help you out. http://www.exoticperformanceplus.com....html?item=540 Bob

EPP is right. You wouldnt get to the end of your street with no torque arm.

edit: please refer to this thread for any and all torque arm questions
