Are this torque arm any good? Anyone had experience with them?

Any one? Is this Torque Arm that really bad....

 

That set-up will require you to remove some interior of your vehicle and drill 10-15 holes into the floor to bolt the plate, that model i also non-adjustable. I think the installation is the main reason not to many people use it.

We have a similar set-ups which are priced more but do not require any drilling and are a 100% bolt in.

If you have any questions please ask and I will be glad to help.

Thank you!

My friend Magnus had one and bent it, he then went to a different one.

 

Not to hijack, but what is the average install time?

 

Don't get Jegster get something else like a Random Technology, UMI or Spohn or Madman.

 

Not very long. Basically get your car up on jack stands, a few bolts on your stock t/a comes out. Loosely put in your crossmember. Then slide you t/a onto the rear end and bolt it in then bolt it in at the crossmember. Tighten crossmember then set pinion angle. Took me about 2 hours but that was because I had to take breaks because it was 15 degrees outside and i kept loosing feeling in my hand

 

I run one and have no complaints. Install does take a bit longer because you do have to take interior components out. I didn't like the other tunnel mounted arms I had, they were way louder and had less ground clearance.

 

If you start to make some torque with that arm, this is what happens.
broken arm

I then switched out the arm for an Alston one.. I did not have to change my tunnel bracing, the alston arm was a direct replacement for the jegster.

 

i know this post is a little old but that is crazy. i had the adj. jegster on my camaro and it held up great. was leaving off the t-brake on a big shot, went 1.29 60's. it was only for a couple months though until i changed my rear suspension.

 

I had one for a little while. I am suprised about the post above stating it was more quiet than some other options. Mine introduced a ton of vibration inside the car. And over time, mine bent as well.

 

I would go with a UMI or BMR.

 

go with a spohn tq arm.

 

X2 I love mine but it does get a little loud when it clunks

 

I used it on my old car but i didnt use the floor bracket, we built a cross bar with adjustable brackets so that for one it didnt push on just the floor board and two we could easaly change pinion angle.

 

I saw a pic of one that had ripped the tunnel apart so I sold mine and went with the spohn

 

my friend down the street has one, hooks good enough to pack the the front wheels (stock ss wheels) a foot or so on a full weight car with 275/45/17 dr's. He has been very pleased with it, and no problems yet.

 

Even though I haven't tried the "tunnel mount" deal myself, I agree. I would find it hard to think something as thin as the floorpan would hold up to the rotational torque of the rear axle. The geometry might be theoretically correct, but I think that the structure isn't sound enough. In other words, GM didn't design the floorpan for that kind of load.

 

What's the deal with that torque arm having a rod slider inside it? I wouldn't want that thing binding up. Also wouldn't having that slider let the pinion move up and down a lot?

 

mine works great with no noise at all really. Im not gonna be making huge torque numbers so I doubt it will deform from power haha It was a pain to install compared to others though,Id like to stitch a weld around the edge since the noise I do get seems to be from the tunnel plate shifting while cornering.
I have noticed any binding and Ive run it hard into corners. Braking is fine but not as smooth as stock was.
