Torque Arm Carnage. Not pretty... ripped the stock torque arm clean off my Moser 12-bolt. :p
the bottom bolt holes sheered off pretty easy... go figure. Though the top holes are still on there so I can drivce in reverse without problems.
chromoly, adjustable Spohn torque arm is being shipped out this week... until then I'm gettin' real good at driving over my shoulder. Let me tell ya, commuting in reverse 70 miles a day can give you a serious crik in the neck!
Seriously considered a decoupled torque arm, but I just didn't want to be the guinea pig for tuning it with the soft stock LCA's and rear springs.

some of my buddies run 12 bolts. what i've done for them is mill a hex on the top of some 1/2-13 allthread. then use a nylock nut. this seems to solve the problem of the bolts backing out.

Looks like he put a plate exactly wher I sheered off the sheet metal... wish I'd thought of that.
The Spohn arm is 3/8" thick plating there so I'm not worried anymore though.
I still can't picture what muraoka is talking about though. Is allthread like a threaded rod/bar? how does that help at all?
