Broken torque arm bracket?
Broken torque arm bracket? Well I tried to launch my car with spray and it seemed to have broken something. I was driving it afterwards and you can feel a little vibration and something seems to hit the rear when you hit the brakes or give it some gas. So I jacked the car up and I see the rear part of the torque arm bracket it looked like it cracked a little bit. Then I start lookin more and it seems the bolt the mounts the car was no longer there. What do I need to replace this? Do I just go to like Autozone and ask for a rear torque arm bracket? Or what is this called? Or should I just get it welded and retap the holes?
Oh I'm sorry I didn't explain. No the torque arm didn't break and it is a BMR Adjustable Torque ARM the bracket just broke. Where can I get a bracket from? I also have the Moser 12 bolt rear, didn't know if that mattered?
You mean the bracket that attaches the torque arm to the transmission correct? If so that is pretty common and there is a fix. You can replace the bracket with either a used one or I think a GM dealer can get it..I am pretty sure auto parts stores can't get that item. The problem with replacing it, is it will most likely happen again sometime down the road. The ultimate fix is a torque arm relocation kit and it can be seen in the link below. This will mount the torque arm off the transmission and eliminate that bracket completely and prevent it from ever happening again. If you need any help just ask and I will be glad to.

You say you have a moser 12 bolt and im guessing the bolts started to back out and eventually broke the TQ arm where you adjust the pinion angle.
The Moser 12-bolt has a well documented issue with having the bolts loosen. Once they loosen it puts leverage on the torque arm bracket, fatigues it then brakes 
. We recommend at the very least to put loctite on them and retorque them on a regular basis to ensure this type of damage doesn't occur. We do sell just the torque arm bracket by itself to cut down on the replacement costs. Just give me a call or email I'll be more then happy to help you out
