Doesn't the M9 use an axle-specific torque arm, similar to the MWC setup?

^^^^

While I'm not sure, UMI says that their regular full length TA works with Moser 12 bolts, as well as most 9" housings....doesn't explicitly say but I would imagine that most would work.

The UMI torque arm won't work on the M9 - it doesn't use bolt sleeves on the center section, it uses bolt locations welded to the top and bottom of the differential housing.

You can sort of see the difference in how the torque arm mounts in this picture:

so do you have an M9, or just a regular Moser 9" with the stamped in housing?

LCA's...single adjustable...get the rotojoint ends...otherwise poly...and chromemoly
PHB...same deal...single adjustable (or double if you're really lazy)...and rotojoint ends...otherwise poly...and chromemoly

Now I'm assuming you like to launch the car for the straight line...get the LCA relocation brackets as well specifically for your Moser 9

check stranoparts.com...he's a sponsor and has everything you need.

I just put a Moser 9inch in last weekend in my car and I have the UMI adjustable torque arm, parhard bar and LCAs. Everything bolted up fine. I did have to beat in underneath the car because the torque arm was hitting a little over bumps but that was expected and no problem to fix.

Great to hear!

All our items will work on the Moser 9" with the exception of our non-adjustable torque arm, which we don't recommend non-adj. for this rear anyhow. We do recommend adjustable panhard bar and control arms for that rear end. We have found the Moser 9" rear end to not sit center like the factory rear end and we use adjustable items to position it correctly.

For true duals you can run our #2205 torque arm. Here are some pictures of it installed with true duals- True Dual Pictures

If you have any questions please feel free to ask. Thank you!
Ryan
