I've seen quite a few people break them in the past, not sure if they redesigned it since then tho.. not really a fan of edelbrock in general.

Edelbrock sold their stuff to other companies. Shocks went to QA1. Not sure about suspension.

The Edlebrock torque arm is a light duty replacement, I feel. Its not designed to take the abuse most of our cars are applying.

For a factory replacement arm that designed to handle the abuse while being a direct bolt in look at our part # 2205- www.umiperformance.com/2205

If I can help with any questions please ask.

Thanks!

If the car isn't lowered and you aren't trying to get the best 60' you can the non-adjustable torque arm will work good for you.

The non-adjustable torque arm is the same build quality as the adjustable it just doesn't allow you to adjust it if needed.

I think you will be just fine. I hope that helps!

Our non-adjustable arm would be much beefier than the factory arm, so if you current arm is under stress it is most likely flexing.

Also our non-adjustable arm has 2 degrees of negative pinion angle built into it, the stock arm most likely has you at 0 degrees of pinion angle.

I hope that helps,
Ryan
