Torque arm help(Moser 9in)
My car and torque arms are pissing me the **** off. Put a 9in in my car about 2 weeks ago. I messed around with my umi non adj. torque for over 4 hrs and came to the conclusion that it just wouldn't fit. Meanwhile, the stock one slips right on and is installed in a matter of 10 minutes. Then last week, I traded away my UMI + a good amount of cash. Tonight I go and try to install the BMR adj. 1 I bought, and it doesn't fit! I'll go out and take a picture in a few. The BMR one was adj. to match the stock one side by side. I was able to hammer it on to the 9in housing(shouldn't have to do), and the holes are about an 1/8in off. WTf, am I doing wrong? At this point I've pissed away so much money on torque arms only to find that stock is the only one that has worked so far.

I have a mosere 9" and a umi adjustable arm, no issues at all.

i have the crossmember mounted arm, adjustable.
I have heard of the arms not fitting and needing grinding of the housing or arm to make it work, It could be a issue with the torque arm mount on the axle as well, the stock arm may fit because its thinner and more flexible. I wouldnt even bother with the non adjustable arm, its worthless on anything but a stock vehicle at stock height. as for the bolt holes in the BMR arm, are there 2 sets of holes or just one? I know my UMI arm has 2 sets of holes, you couldnt use one set of the 9" rear unless you cut the webbing of the 3rd member a lot. I just had to grind a tiny little bit in one spot fopr the other set |

no problem, anytime you need it. i got just about anything you could possibly need, mig welder, torches,plasma, etc...

the nice thing about the spohn setup is it has 2 sets of holes for that reason. maybe consider buying a spohn? Ive heard fitment issues with the other manufacturers with aftermarket rears.
|
I got a spohn adj. with a 12bolt moser. seems to fit without any problems.
|
i have a spohn adj crossmember mount if you just want to check it out and see if it fits or something? not gunna sell it though :wink:

I just finished intalling a moser 9" and a Spohn adj. torque arm ,crossmember mount. The Spohn mount has 2 sets of holes ( 1 set for the 9" ) I mounted the TQ arm to the rear,than to crossmember, than moved the crossmember into place and bolted it up. It took a little effort but went into place. Hope this helps.

:drool: nice setup!

i just read some horror stories about the tunnle mounted t/a ripping the brackets right off the floor pans.... because that tunnle brace is only held on with those little bolt plates that are spot welded to the floor.... makes sense that hard launch might tear that out... i might go with the trans crossmember set up..... is that what your doin vin? and then ill just get a safety loop separate...

yea from what im told... x-pipes give alot of extra power though.... but some power loss is better than breaking stuff....

If you have three point sub frame connectors then a tunnel mount would not have much to worry about.

Three point SFC are ftw. Do it Vinny. And again, cats are ftl. :nod: |

i'm a little pissed about the chassis mounted torque arm bs. maybe the braces can be fully welded? eh brandon? i gots a welder! and throw in the sfcs? ehhhh brandon? :lol: |
you have a welder...? what kind brand and type... and whats it capable of... didnt think about 3pt connectors... yea with those the tunnle mount would be fine.... i only have 2 point connectors though...
