82-02 UMI Performance Non-Adj. Torque Arm(Transmission Mount)
An affordable suspension upgrade is now available for your F-Body vehicle. This non-adjustable transmission mounted torque arm features all the same build specifications as our adjustable units for a fraction of the price. The factory torque arm bends, breaks and flexes under the smallest loads causing inconsistency and down time to the driver. This problem is a simple fix by adding a direct replacement torque arm from UMI Performance. This tubular torque arm bolts directly in place of the factory unit using existing mounting holes and requires no drilling or welding, it is a direct bolt-on. The torque arm is designed to eliminate wheel hop under hard acceleration and reduces 60-foot times instantly. This non-adjustable unit is preset at -2 degrees of pinion angle to insure best traction and performance from the vehicle, no adjustments need made, just bolt on and go!
Also included with this tubular set-up is a new low deflection Energy Suspension front bushing designed to replace the stock rubber bushing and bolts directly in the existing clamshell. Fits GM 10-Bolt rear-ends, Moser and Strange 12-Bolts as well as most 9? housings. Please Note: The -2 degree setting is on a stock ride height vehicle.

Rear Torque Arm Hardware Kit- We highly recommend purchasing a new hardware kit if running this torque arm on a stock rear, Strange or other similar rear-ends that use a straight through bolt design. OEM torque arm bolts will work however are slightly too short and may not fit correctly. If you are running a Moser Engineering rear-end this kit is not needed, you must reuse hardware supplied by Moser Engineering.
