Spohn Torque Arm Mount Question
Spohn Torque Arm Mount Question I'm running a semi-custom torque arm set up in my 67 Firebird and planned on using a Spohn custom length torque arm. I noticed their normal mount looks to be like a swivel joint type that mounts to the cross members instead of to the transmission with a secondary bushing welded to the cross member, my question is would there be an issue if I made just a regular bracket to "hard mount" the poly bushing end to the mount instead of the double "swing" joint? Too much stress? Planned on using the spohn arm with a Hooker T56 mount (for 67-69 F body) since it looked nicely built and able to handle some torque. Any help would be appreciated.
We make a direct bolt in kits for doing this. Here is what our system looks like so maybe you can get some ideas on how to make yours work:

I don't think you understand my question, the front link on the BMR tq arm is a small shackle type mount, I'm wondering what negative effects I'll have if i bracket mount it (hard mount) besides additional cab noise. Stress issues? Car will be running an LS3 416 MN12 (650hp or more)
I was posting ours to illustrate our design to give you ideas. We have a bushing shackle at the front that has a solid stub of of it that floats in a greaseable delrin lined sleeve. This gives articulation in both directions, as well as fore and aft movement so as to no cause bind through the range of motion

Verdad Gallardo You can see it a little better here. It's not technically hard mounted, it has a slip joint in the end of the torque arm that the bushing that allows articulation without binding the bushing. You end up with 2 different points of articulation to allow for all suspension movement
