If you want serious performance, handling, and traction
when you're at the dragstrip, AutoX, or road racing; then you need a Spohn
Performance fully adjustable torque arm, here's what it'll do:
- Attaches to the rear axle and controls rear end
torque during acceleration, transferring this energy into the tires,
increasing straight line traction
- Reduces nose-dive during braking
- Eliminates wheel hop
- Increases side bite during corner exit acceleration
- Bolt-on system does not require complete interior
removal as with other kits
- No fabrication, welding or drilling required
- 100% bolt-in installation!
- Removes the torque arm pivot point from the rear of
the transmission to the supplied cross member
- Changes the instantaneous center and leverage point
from stock
- Provides adjustable pinion angle
- Poly version utilizes polyurethane front mount to
keep noise at a minimum
- Rod ended version utilizes a QA1 extra high
strength, chrome moly spherical rod end with Teflon®/Kevlar® self lubricating
race for those who demand the best in bind-free performance
and strength
- FREE angle finder included to set pinion angle
Build Specifications:
- Constructed of 1.25" o.d. x .120" wall DOM (drawn
over mandrel) seamless mild steel tubing
- TIG welded 4130 chrome moly threaded tube adapters
- Heavy-duty 3/8" thick steel rear housing mounting
plates
- Heavy-duty mild steel cross member with integral
torque arm mounting system
- Polyurethane bushing front mount for minimal road
noise, Grade 8 hardware is supplied. Integral grease fitting allows for
lubrication of the polyurethane bushing
- Rod ended version utilizes a QA1 extra high
strength, chrome moly spherical rod end with Teflon®/Kevlar® self lubricating
race for those who demand the best in bind-free performance
and strength. Grade 8 hardware is supplied
- Unique rotating front torque arm mount, this system
allows the torque arm to travel fore/aft which is VERY necessary with a torque
arm suspension system. Solidly mounting the front of the torque arm causes the
suspension to bind and hurts your car's handling drastically. The
front rotator tube has an integral grease fitting to allow for proper
lubrication.
- Rear of torque arm mounts to the 3/8" thick steel
rear housing mounting plates via two 3/4"-16 NFT x 5/8" bore x 7/8" thick
solid steel rod ends. These are solid rod ends, not spherical bearing rod
ends, so noise is of no concern. Grade 8 - 5/8" bolts and 5/8" nylock nuts are
supplied.
- Integral Pinion Angle Adjuster between the bottom
rear solid rod end and the bottom rear torque arm tube allows for easy pinion
angle adjustment. A simple turn of the wrench will give you 6 degrees of
pinion angle adjustment, it's that simple.
- Entire package is a complete bolt-in
assembly using existing mounting points on the vehicle. No drilling or welding
is required!
- NHRA rules require a driveshaft safety loop on any
vehicle running quicker than 13.99, or on any car running slicks. NHRA rules
call for a loop with at least .250" wall thickness, located no more than 6"
from the front u-joint. All Spohn Performance driveshaft safety loops meet
every NHRA specification requirement in both build construction, and mounting
location.
- This is a proven product being run on some of the fastest
F-Bodies in the country!
- Rear mounting bracket is designed to fit on the OEM rear or an
aftermarket 12 bolt or Ford 9" rear
- Available powder coated red or black.
By request of our customers, we now offer the option of getting your
torque arm with a front and rear driveshaft safety loop. NHRA rules
call for a front driveshaft safety loop to prevent catapulting of the vehicle in
the event of a front u-joint or shaft failure. While a rear u-joint or shaft
failure will not catapult the vehicle, it will take out anything in it's way, ie.
rears, suspension components, brake lines, floor boards, etc. Protect yourself,
and your investments, and play it safe by containing the front and the rear of
the driveline.
NOTE: Do not get a rear driveshaft safety loop if your car
is lowered, or if you have an SLP "Loud-Mouth" cat-back exhaust system.
Now Available: The ultimate in bullet-proof lightweight
strength, 100% TIG welded chrome moly construction! Same as above, but
torque arm is constructed entirely from 1.25" x .095" 4130 chrome moly tubing.
