Default Torque Arm Problems??

I just ordered a new bushing from Thunder Racing, which was my first order from them that will be followed by many many more, I have noticed a roar in my car and I think it is comming from the torque arm b/c I had the car on a rack the other day and checked the tranny mount and it seemed fine and I looked at the torque arm bushing and it seemed beat up so I'm going to try a new one.... I also noticed that the transmission drain line was touching the bottom of the car and making a squeaking noise that I will fix when I change the bushing..... Anyone else have any problems with their stock torque arms and noises comming from the underside of the car??????

I'm getting a bang/clunk When I 'float in gear' like a trailing arm is loose. Caint fine it. I was told that the driveshaft does this by the dealer. Something about 'double walled'. seen a pic of a driveshaft broken and did not see 2 walls, just cardboard! Now, Whose getting the shaft? <img src="gr_emb.gif" border="0"> <img src="graemlins/gr_cry.gif" border="0" alt="[whiner]" />
