My wheel hop is completely gone, but the torque arm only got rid of about half I'd say, added BMR relocation brackets and that got rid of another 30%, added welded in tubular subframes, now I can't make it hop if I try <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

the price looks good but i dont see any adjustments. i will be needing an adjustable one to set pinion angle. dam i guess i got to spend more bucks. this piece does look though.

Dave, your reviews sounds good, you got me sold on the Edelbrock torque arm but I'm already lucky to have the poly torque arm bushing in place (accidently put that in while trying to find the banging noise from a stop which later turns out to be the transmission mount)

Just sent a email to Ramchargers...

Most of the aftermarket arms break at the adjustable heim, so I like the look of this one. I don't need to adjust my pinion angle either. My car hooks very good even with the lowering springs and no LCA brackets. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

Let us know how they work out...

I got my Edelbrock tublar torque arm and 1LE rear swaybar with poly bushings and endlinks installed last nite and went out for a spin.

All I can say WOW, it does feel like there is a rearend. I can tell you it's the tublar arm working well since I had a poly transmission mount in it before and I can tell it's not only that doing the work but the arm is sure doing something.
Stomp on the gas, the rearend feels like it's spinning on a wet flat road while it's dry out. Not even a hint of a wheel hop. (Goodyears F1 going down now in traction <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> )

It is worth it.
Thanks to RamChargers for getting the order through.

If I blindfolded you and had you hold one of each at the same time, you would not be able to tell any difference between the two with regards to weight.

I don't have the pinion angle degree finder tool.
