UMI T-mounted TA. Bolt making contact w/ DS
Is this happening to anyone else? Any suggestions? The top bolt on the pivoting part is sometimes making contact with my drive shaft. It sits maybe a 1/4" or less away from it. It is evident by the ring it is etching in to it. This is not fun. Thanks in advance for any help.

Its the threaded end. Even if I flip the bolt around, I wont be getting much clearance from it. I will try it though. Its cold and snowing so Ill have to wait a week.

Hello,
hmmm, well lets see what is causing it.
One thing to look at is- The front mount of that torque arm has slots in it. You can loosen those bolts and "slide" the front mount over slightly. Does this sound possible? You want the torque arm to be as parallel with the drive shaft if possible as well.
Also yes as mentioned switch the bolt around too and get the head towards the drive shaft. If you can take a picture please send it me at sales@umiperformance.com and I will happy to look at it.
Hope that helps!
