So I found out why my car has been hop skip and jumping while making a turn. The top bolt on the torque bar mount at the tranny keeps working its way lose and when I make turns the torque arm is vibrating back and forth as well as up and down. I have used Red Lock Tight, with the bolt Torqued to spec and the damn thing still works lose after driving it for about a half hour. Any suggestions other then maybe the Torque Arm Relocation Kit from BMR? If I can not fix this problem. That will be my last resort, money is tight right now so that is why I am looking for something other then spending lots of cash right now.

i got the same probelm!!! dont know what it is...only does it sometimes tho so idk

Yeah, its a pain to fix also. Not pain as in its hard, just takes up time that could be spent doing something productive

Jack the car up, jack under Tranny, Unbolt Tranny support to gain better access to bolt, Toque to spec, Jack Tranny up, Bolt Tranny Support. Crawl out from under car, lower car. I am doing this **** three times a week. Think Maybe something as simple as a lock washer?

my TA bolts that attatch to the rear end sometimes work themselves loose. I havn't found a way to keep it happening so I usually have to re-tq them twice a season or so. PITA!

My rear ones never seem to work lose, in fact. They are a freaking bitch to get out when I need to. Its just the front top one that holds the clamp

Ill take a couple of pictures for you tomorrow, I have to climb under there again.

some .032 safety wire would cure that, I find myself safety wiring more and more as the mods go on, just for peace of mind.
