Poly Torque Arm Mount
Poly Torque Arm Mount Just installed one b/c my stocker was shot, and have only drivin the car a bit since then, easy driving, just wondering what the pros and cons are of a energy suspensions polyurethane torque arm..
On a stock torque arm I cant imagine much really, that thing is so damn flimsy its ridiculous. On that note, I think my stock mount is shot too and will probably replace it with a prothane mount.
Increased bind and less deflection, which with the front of the torque arm, really isn't anything much to worry about since there is very little movement.
As concerns with longevity, the life span may be about the same since while the poly may not break apart when well lubricated, it will creep (distortion of a plastic nature, and not one of elastic nature) and permanently deform which can loosen over a period of time, which is why I prefer a TA and it's mount with a cylindrical mount hole as opposed to the akward "E" or "3" shape that the stock TA uses.
Wheel hop is mostly relieved with the pinion angle adjustment of an adjustible TA.
