Pop N Wood Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Anybody have a good picture of the torque arm in a late model Camaro? I want to build one but I am having a hard time visualizing what they do. Are they suppose to stop the twisting of the trans/diff around the driveshaft, or just stop the lifting of the nose of the diff? It would be easy to build something to stop the lifting, but the twisting I would think would require something like a torque tube on a vette. Maybe the twisting is not something to worry about? If I were to solidly bolt something to the side of a T56 and to the side of the R200, could I eliminate my rear trans mount and the front diff mount? Would seem like a very worthwhile thing to do.

johnc Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Lots of pics of a modified torque arm install: http://www.wolferacecraft.com/install/fbod/fbodtqarm.aspx Camaro torque arms only control the pinion angle. The don't do any lateral or torque location of the rar axle. If I were to solidly bolt something to the side of a T56 and to the side of the R200, could I eliminate my rear trans mount and the front diff mount? Would seem like a very worthwhile thing to do. I think what you are thinking about is called a PowerPlant frame is is used by Mazda in their Miatas, RX7s, and RX8s.

SSflyer Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Pop, I have a F-body torque arm that's not going to get used. You can have it if you'll pay the freight... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the links. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
