Default Paging Colonel

hey i have a question for you:

you have a random adjustable torque arm and have previously stated that it is nice and quiet because it is still in the stock location...

WELL

the 64,000 question is how did you keep it in the "stock" location with a TH350?

thanks

-and if you have any pics that'd be great <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

The Colonel is using the Yank conversion kit. With this kit, I believe I read that Yank makes the torque arm bolt it the factory location using the Turbo 350. Correct Colonel?

"bushing in stock location kinda automatically makes it quiet"

No, again, it really has NOTHING to do with the fact that the bushing is in the stock location but rather that the material that the bushing is made of is SOFT (not as soft as the stock bushing but still, pretty soft compared to what it could be.) Make it a solid bushing in the stock location and I'd bet it'd be noisy. By contrast, take this soft bushing that it has and move it forward, backwards, up, or down and it would still be quiet. <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

That's right!

BTW, I never stated that it was quiet because it is still in the stock location. It's quiet because of the bushing that it uses. <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

Anyone running the BMR Xtreme Duty TQ Arm? I'd guess that the bushings are poly but I'm not sure.
