Default Chrome Molly Torque Arm

I've read some of the threads by searching that say overall the chrome molly isn't that much lighter than the mild steel. On an item like the Torque Arm what kind of weight savings are we looking at? Does it really justify $100 difference for this piece?

Often the pieces themselves aren't that much lighter, but they are stronger. If you are on a tight budget then its probably not worth it

Our torque arm you are interested in is 3-4lbs lighter when manufactured from Chrome Moly. Not only do you get the weight savings but there is also strength benefits as well. I would suggest just the mild steel for your application.. the chrome moly would be overkill and a unneeded expense.

Hope that helps!

Thanks Ryan. I went ahead and ordered the adjustable TA. Hopefully this will fix me up!
