Is My Torque Arm Bent???? *pics* I was under the car tonight doing the relo brackets and glanced at the torque arm and did a double take. I've never bent one before or seen a bent one, so I want to be sure. It just seems twisted to me.

If you are talking about the slight bow to the side nope. When they bend they wrinkle at the top from all pics i've seen.
Good test if it is bending, is it will throw off the pinion angle and cause a vibration. Have you gotten any new noises/clunks/vibrations?

Another affirmation from me that the torque arm is fine.
AFA the clunk, when you get another chance to inspect the underside again, check all of your bushings to see if there is any evidence of tearing and if you have poly bushings, creeping (cold-flow). Also recheck if anything isn't tightened down enough.
