Well, I wouldn't recommend using a spoon for a torque arm, but regardless, I doubt that a torque arm will cause a driveline vibration at certain speeds. The torque arm is more of a fixed part and is normally not associated with vibrations. Something else is causing it.

If its an adjustable one and its not adjusted correctly, you will have tremendous vibration problems due to the pinion angle being off.

Hi
I have a Spohn adjustable tranny mount torque arm set to minus 1 degree. I gave me a slight increase in noise and vibration when driving on the highway. This is expected and is a fair trade off for the improvements in handling and traction. If your vibration is unacceptable, then I would check the pinion angle. For street driving it should be from 0 to 1 degree . If it is set over 2 degrees it could be causing a problem.
Thanks JA
