A few days ago after some street racing, i noticed some banging noise coming from under the car. Days later a guy who was rolling behind my race said he saw a red small block come out behind my car but he never said anything that day. Looked under the car yesterday and noticed the bushing was missing. I didnt install it so i have no clue when or how the install went. So now im not sure what to do, get a aftermarket TA or just replace the bushing. Dont think im hitting 400whp yet but i will with nitrous.

 

Replace whole torque arm if it's stock and you plan on doing things to the car. IMO

 

I would swap out the entire toque arm. Long or short torque arm choice will be based off your transmission and a few other details but if you choose a torque arm that comes with a pivot link like I pictured below you are leaving some traction on the table. The torque arms that have no real give because the nose of the torque arm is sandwiched in between the mount reduce the movement the torque arm needs.

All our torque arms use this style link because it allows for free movement front to back as well as up and down which happens while the suspension is moving. It also has multiple holes to help you achieve the desired pinion angle at any ride height. Many times with the solid mounted torque arms at the front or ones with out a multi hole pivot link you end up running your heim joints out to far which is dangerous and most likely will cause failure.

Our two hole pivot link is used with our true dual crossmember because the crossmember itself is moved up in the vehicle to allow for exhaust to fit under it instead of through it. We also use the two hole pivot link for the T-56 transmission so there is no sensor interference. A five hole can fit but you have to rotate the sensor. We also offer what we call a race link that eliminates the poly bushing but it is only recommended for race applications.
