Default Torque Arm?

So found out that the mystery knock was my torque arm. the bolt that supports the front mount of the torque arm snapped off.

anyways time to upgrade.

I want a torque arm that will work on my stock rear end and will also work on a s60 that i will soon be purchasing

i will be upgrading to true duals so the after market torque arm will help will clearance as well.

i want adjustable. but do i want transmission mount or tunnel mount?

thats about it..

oh and i have a t56 transmission

If you plan on true duals I'm pretty sure your stuck with a full length so get. Trans mounted adjustable and then get the correct TA relocation Trans crossmember to get it off the tranny.

Here is what the UMI looks like with true duals. The tunnel mount interferes with the x-pipe so full length is what we use.

This car sounds pretty sweet and works great with the 2205/2207 (our P/N).

We have a 2000 WS6 with an S60 and our rear bracket is the same whether you choose tunnel or trans mount.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Have a great Monday.

We offer an adjustable full-length or tunnel-mounted torque arm that can mount to both a factory rear and aftermarket rear. For the full-length arm, we also have an option to take it off the transmission and, by going with true duals, this is probably your best option. If you want the extra benefit in suspension geometry, we have out short arm, but that may interfere with your duals. When I had mine done, the exhaust shop built my duals around the torque arm and it turned out really nice. I would stick to a full-length unless you plan on going for "the number" at the track. There are some drawback to short arms on the street but they work like a sumbitch at the strip!

Ramey,

Have you guys noticed any fitment issues with running your tranny mount TA with the relocation bracket on after market rears? In my case the TA keeps pushing the poly bushing out through the front of the mount. I have your TA, relo-mount, and a Moser 9" rear (rear-end is centered and end links near housing are screwed in fairly deep). I can get a pic tomorrow when I get it up on a lift to better illustrate this.

Hmm, we haven't had any particular trouble with that combo. The aftermarket rears tend to have the mounting points in the same location as factory.

We can take a look at the pics when you post them.

thanks
