We have seen quite a few crack, usually its when the bolts at the rear end come loose they put the arm in a bind. This either oblongs the holes, bends the rear mount or just cracks it like you have seen. That is most likely what happened. If you looking for a inexpensive replacement and you need any help just send me a message and I will be glad to get you fixed up. We have a nice non-adjustable set-up.

I snapped mine right in half once, the rear shifted, my driveshaft was cocked and hitting the tunnel so I pulled over right away but it had already destroyed the seals in the tranny. I got it towed to my buddy's shop and he got a quote for a new stocker from his supplier -$700!! hahah screw that pick up an aftermarket t/a

Im just trying to understand TA's better...is it ok to have a tranny mounted TA if you are pushing decent power...I plan to run atleast 500 to the ground at the track and I just ordered the UMI adjustable tranny mounetd TA over the tunnle set up...mainly for clearance issues. I hope I got the right one.

I second this...The torque arm is very nice. I think the pinion angle on a stock height car is supposed to be -2 degrees and the UMI torque arm comes like that.
