Default Recommendations for a new Torque Arm

well my torque arm is about ready to go, so instead of replacing it with a new one I want to update it. I need help with two things:

1. I need a suggestion for the best brand

2. besides the torque arm, what else do i need to bye to switch it out or do most torque arms come with everything you need.

1. Its up to you when it comes to brand name. We sell one as do a few other companys on this board. Just a little plug for ours, many of the fastest stock suspension cars in the country run our torque arm.

2. With our torque arm, it will have everything you need to take the old out and put the new in. (no funny business)

Heres a link if youre interested...

I always suggest adjustable, they're fairly easy to setup. We have a video on the main page of our site that walks you through it.


As far as material, we have one out of mild steel and we also have a chromoly.

Hello,

We also offer a few different brands of torque arms for your vehicle and at some of the lowest prices you will find.

Since the vehicle is a daily driver I highly recommend the stock length torque arm. If your vehicle is at factory height with no plans on lowering it the non-adjustable would work very well. If you have plans to continue to modify the car or the height has been changed I recommend an adjustable torque arm. Our torque arms come supplied fully assembled and ready to bolt on, our adjustable version is also pre-set to factory length and both versions include a new polyurethane bushing.

For material our standard versions are mild steel and we can upgrade to chrome moly for a $100.. but I see no need for this for you.

Here are the links to the two items I would recommend-

Non-Adjustable- www.umiperformance.com/2206

Adjustable- www.umiperformance.com/2205

If you have any questions please ask and I will be glad to help.

Thank you!
Ryan

Glad to hear..... people don't realize how well this system works when compared to a tunnel mounted torque arm.
