My question is pretty simple are the provitions for the torque arm on the moser 9inch on the third member or are they on the housing. i want to by the housing and axle from moser and then later build my own third memeber but my friends seem to think the third memeber is special due to arer torque arm.

 

On The Housing.

 

and you hvae to run an aftermarket torque arm correct? if soo witch one?

 

I Have A Random Tech Torque Arm (Adjustable). I'm Not Sure If You Have Too. But I Did.

 

you can use any third member as far as i know.....the housing is what is modified to accept the t/a....right now my spohn body mounted torque arm is giving me fits on the 9" moser, and i talked to another guy from this forum who is having issues with a bmr t/a on his....but others say they fit right in, so i don't know what to think right now.......

 

My UMI isnt sitting the way it should either..

 

Waht type of issues are you having??? That is the setup I am going to be running.

 

were did you guys happen to get your 9 inch?

 

I advise people to check the torque arm fitment before installing the rear. We've used a lot of different brands of torque arms on Moser 9 inch rears, sometimes a little grinding is necessary. Bob

 

it doesnt need any grinding, its just too long now

 

Let me know more about the UMI setup. I was gonna get their 3 point subframes and torque arm & relocation kit to go with my 9"

My umi tunnel mount w/dsl fit fine, no real problems. The stock one actually fit better but snapped it pretty quick.

 

Just had the same issue. Apparently, the Moser 9" torque arm provisions are all over the board as far as fitment. I had a Moser 9" and had some guys try to install a Spohn tunnel mount tq arm and it took some time. The rear end tq arm provisions were off by like 3/4" that was causing some major bind when then tried to put the car down. They had to "fix" it and it was a major PITA.

 

Can you get some pictures of it, so we can see exactly what you're up against. Thanks! Bob

 

i posted this pic
in another thread i had about my problems:


when i had a stock rear the bottom t/a swivel and the top bushing were perpendicular, now the top is two inches too far ahead......its causing major clunking when the trans shift.....

 

i was wondering if the rear was in the jig wrong when they welded the tubes that the mount bolts to or what....how did they fix it? did they mess with the t/a or the mount?

 

spohn t/a on my 98 no issues/problems here.random tech on my 35th SS .just recently swap rear end.no problem.no grinding.lca,phb rod ended all adj.

 

Apparently they decided to fix it with the torque arm. The bracket is just a huge chunk of metal and they didn't want to fool with that. I think they called both Moser and Spohn and each one said to modify the others piece (I know hard to believe ) It probably was something messed up in the jig and Spohn actually said they had seen this before because the tubes were all over the place in mounting location on the bracket.


Post pictures of the TA mounting location on the rear not at the tunnel if you have any.

 

The only way to figure out what is wrong, and what needs to be corrected is to get some measurements. Some good pictures of what might be wrong would be of help. Bob

 

uhh...is it me or are you not running back brakes. if so why is that?
