I just installed my new Spohn Torque arm and I've noticed a bit more noise comming from the rear then before. Just wondering if that was normal? I don't think I installed it wrong, performance hasnt' been changed, except for better launching. And I think I set the pinion angle correclty at -1 degrees. Even though I thoguht I was going to have to take a calculice class to figure out the instructions they sent on how to do it. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Definitely more road noise with an aftermarket torque arm, but it goes with the territory. If I wanted a quiet ride, I'd buy a Mercedes. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />

I had some to but I ended up putting rubber inbetween the front mounting points and it helped. I dont have road noise but I do feel any vibration in the driveline. might want to try the rubber. It was thick and harder rubber.
