IMPORTANT NOTICE TO MOSER 12 BOLT USERS: This product is only warrantable on rear axles that utilize the factory style "through bolts" to connect the torque arm to the rear end. Moser 12 bolt rear ends utilize a threaded bolt hole that has been proven to have bolt retention issues when used with aftermarket torque arms. If you have this particular rear axle, understand this warranty disclaimer and still wish to use this product, keep in mind that lock washers, or Loctite brand thread sealants are not substitutes for periodic bolt inspection.

The Strange 12-Bolt and Strange S60 both use the through bolts like factory does... this is a much better design, I feel at least. The Moser 9" uses the through bolt design as well, just the 12-Bolt uses the smaller bolt design. I would recommend the Strange 12-Bolt
Hope that helps,

There are compromises with all of them - I wanted a rear end that fit and looked like stock, and I doubt I'll ever have enough power to do any serious damage to it provided I ever take it to the track (which hasn't been for 4 years or so at this point). My second choice probably would have been a Moser 9".

Well I'm not set on it, as nothing is in stone (heck I just finally semi-decided what I'm doing with my car yesterday anyway). If a Moser 9 inch would be a better choice than the 12 bolt in my case then I'd go that way. I'm just figuring that the 10 bolt won't hold up long-term once I start putting out more power from the engine, so it probably wouldn't make much sense to put money into a torsen unit/gear change/whatever else for it.
Don't mean to hijack the thread... I'll start my own once I'm actually in the real planning stages.

Hello Everyone,
I just wanted to give you an update.
We were able to locate the users order in our system and the torque arm was 4 years old. Our warranty on products is 2 years however we did send out a new replacement torque arm this week and that should take care of the issue.
I know parts breaking can be frustrating and not something any one of us want to experience but its part of modding your car. Whether its suspension, drivetrain, engine ect items are going to break... especially under racing conditions. It is somethig us manufactures hate to see but we have to handle it and deal with it the best we can.
Thank you and have a great weekend,
Ryan

Glad you got fixed up with a new Tq arm-UMI service is awsome from what I seen. But I do own a Moser 12 bolt also and offer a fix. Ive posted many times showing a solution to it. Hav pics in my profile. Heck I should send UMI one of my hardware setups to offer if they want one. I dont have time to machine them is all. But this arm didnt break at the mount like usuall-or maybe I see it wrong. I do agree Moser had 20 yrs to make the 12 bolt more factory friendly. but it is what it is.

the floorpan broke your bar
you have to trim off the two outside holes 3/8 inch from inside holes and use the inside holes. not a direct fit on moser must customize but does fit. fist bump in the road would break or at least here it bang on bottom . I noticed this when I went to put mine on it was touching the tunnel (backbone) of the floor pan .

First welcome to LS1 Tech! A lot of the times you will have to make some clearance in the tunnel area just due to the fact that a aftermarket torque arm mount is bulkier. And when you do use a Moser Rear just trim off enough to get the clearance that you need.
Thanks
