Default Torque arm bushing

I need to replace my torque arm bushing. I Have an adjustable BMR torque arm with the BMR relocation mount. Does the bushing have to be a BMR bushing and is there only one type of material for the bushing? Ive been looking at the BMR website and have gone through the first 21 pages under the search "bushing" and no listing. Also tried under 98-02 fbody with no results. Thanks for any help.

You need the bushing with the circle hole in the center. Any brand should work fine.

Does your regular, long, stock trans mounted torque arm's bushing have the same size diameter hole in it as the old, long gone Random Tech TA (which I have )??
(WHAT is the diameter of your TA's front single tube where it goes into the bushing???)

I got a UMI bushing, but the hole is at least 1/8" too large for the RT arm's front tube.

Those bushings are generally a standard size but i have had a few instances with some aftermarket torque arms that are built differently whether it be different size diameter tubing or the torque arm being shorter that create a problem unless you use a specific bushing.

Sounds like you need a bushing specific to that torque arm.

As long as your Random Technology torque arm uses 1.25" O.D. tubing where it slides through the bushing our BMR torque arm bushing will work for you.

I am almost positive that UMI uses the same size O.D. tubing as us so more than likely our bushing will not work for you. Measure the O.D. of the tubing on your Random Technology torque arm and let us know what it is.
