Default torque arm install

picked up an adjustable torque arm, and it didnt come with any instructions, it seems pretty straightfoward, but i dont know anything about the pinion angle or what it should be. it not the tranny mount one, it mounts to the stock location.

after the install, you should check the pinion angle. ive read -2* is where it should be

the TA should go in pretty straight foward. I find it easier to install the back of it to the rear end first and then muscle the front of it down to slip the bolts through the holes. You should get yourself a pinion angle finder and measure your stock TA first beofre you remove it. Then you can readjust the new one if needed. LIke bad6as said, -2% seems to be the norm for street driven cars. these sites may help you out
