Default Torque Arm Question

Whats the diffrence between the stock rear end (10-Bolt) T/A and the 12Bolt/9" rear end T/A?

if i get a T/A for my stock rear now and then later decided to have it on a 12 Bolt/9" rear, will it be convertable or do i have to get a new T/A that is designed to fit on the 12Bolt/9" rear ends!!!

It'll switch over. I put a 9" n my ss and ordered a T/A bracket with it to reuse my BMR T/A.

If you get a UMI torque arm, they are drilled with 2 sets of holes. The inside set works with a stock rear end and the outside holes work with a Moser 9". I found that out the hard way (Instructions did not say which to use). Scratched my TA when I let the car down and loaded the chassis. Nothing major, just cosmetic. Regardless, it will work.

Hello
Like mentioned above we do offer a universal style mounting bracket that is build much sturdier over the stock piece. And like mentioned above either Stock, Strange, Moser, Fab 9, Rear Ends our Adjustable (Highly Recommended) Torque Arms will work with any of them. And I am sure you will be pleased with the performance. Below is a link to show you what all UMI Performance has to offer!

If you have any other questions feel free to ask!
Thanks
Brad

We do offer a 10/12 torque arm set up as pictured below.

In the picture you will also see our relocators and lower control arms.

Tunnel Mount Torque Arm:
Super strong light weight Chromemoly Torque arm, double adjustable, TIG welded, drive shaft loop included, and we have cross members available for many exhaust configurations including TSP duals.

$430 Shipped Comes Powder Coated and includes all necessary hardware.
This package is about $90 less than the competition for the same material.

Control Arms:
Double Adjustable rear lower Control Arms standard bushing or offset bushing made from Chromemoly material and TIG welded.
$230 Shipped Comes Powder Coated
$220 Shipped Bare

Panhard Bars:
Double adjustable Chromemoly and TIG welded.
$140 Shipped powder coated
$130 Shipped bare

Weld on Relocators:
Weld on Lower Control Arm relocators for factory style brackets.
$60 Shipped
(will not work for Moser rear ends)

This torque arm does not work with our fabricated nine inch however. We get rid of the bulky mounting bracket for our custom rear ends to help remove some unneeded weight.
