Hi, I just ordered a s60 about a month ago. I'm on a budget and this is my first major mod. I got one question. will my factory torque arm be alright for a while till i get the funds for another torque arm and a relocation cross member to take it off the tranny? Thanks for all your help.

On a 95 yes. My S60 was an absolute drop in.

Just keep an eye on the oem torque arm. I have seen them bend approx six inches ahead of the rear. When they bend the front of the rear will start to angle upward. Bob

Ok thanks for the heads up bob. one question though. I don't plan on lowering the car so would a non adjustable torque arm and a cross member that relocates it off the trannys tailshaft be alright? I plan to go with a full length torque arm. I don't drag race at all. I just like to improve on various areas of the car. In other words make it better than stock but still very streetable. Reason why I'm replacing axle is well just to get rid of a weak link. Thanks for al your input guys. my sig is blank I thought i put stuff in there but I guess not. My car is a 2002 z28 M6. stock as all I can tell. except for some pcm tuning such as deleting the AIR codes and cat codes.

You're welcome. An adjustable torque arm is not that much more than the non adjustable torque arms, I always recommend going with adjustable as it allows you to adjust the pinion angle. You may not ever need to adjust the pinion angle, but it would be there in case you ever need to. Bob
