Torque arm is supposed to be able to move somewhat.. or else it wouldn't be effective in doing it's job (controlling axle windup).

Some of the earlier ones from the aftermarket did not have any give, consequently they broke.

I also thought moving the front of the TA would change PA, but was told other wise. I think it was BMR rep that told me that.
Simple geometry. Put an angle guage on your yoke, remove your torque arm mount, pull down on your torque arm, see what happens to your pinion angle!

Car feels so good now I havent had to measure it. Although I did test it at different front mounting points at the track and it did make a difference. On the UMI mount the 2nd holes from the bottom on the relocation mount works the best and is the most consistant for me.
