The torque arm is missing the rear mounting bracket so you would need that before you were able to use it but otherwise all those parts will fit on your 99 T/A.

Yeah, here is the link to our site to the correct bracket for that torque arm.

http://www.bmrsuspension.com/?page=p...&productid=569

The difference is that the MTA001 will be mig welded and the TA001 will be tig welded. Here is how you can visually tell the difference between the two weld types.







Thanks to Tommy for taking the time to weld these pieces of scrap metal for me so I could show you this.

Hope this helps!
