Torque Arm Question I have a couple of questions for you guys. Can you adjust your pinion angle with an adjustable torque arm only? Or do you have to have adjustable LCA's also? If Adj. LCA's aren't needed, is the only benefit being able to center the tire in the wheelwell? Thanks.

An adjustable panhard rod will center the wheels inside of the wheel well, not a torque arm or LCA's. Not sure about the LCA's adjusting pinion angle but I dont beleive so, but dont quote me on that one. I think that only an adjustable torque arm is needed for pinion angle.

Thanks guys. When I said center the wheel in the wheelwell, I meant for a larger tire diameter. 
Is that the only benefit of adjustable LCA's? I didn't know if I should go with all adjustable or not. Also the car is lowered about an inch and a quarter. Thanks again.

I say keep the adjustable parts to a bare minimum...my car gives me enough grief as it is.

I go back and forth between my poly/rod LCAs and poly/poly...the poly/poly is quieter for daily driving, but the poly/rod helps me drive like an *** around corners, scaring women, children, and small animals.
