What is the main benefit of installing an adjustable torque arm?

An adjustable torque arm replaces the weaker stock unit to eliminate flex and improve rigidity. This helps eliminate wheel hop under hard acceleration and allows for precise adjustment of the pinion angle, which can improve power transfer to the rear wheels.

Does this torque arm require any modifications to install?

No, this torque arm is designed as a direct bolt-on replacement. It uses existing mounting holes and requires no drilling or welding for installation on 1985-2002 models. However, 1982-1984 models will need an updated clamshell mount.

What rear-end housings is this torque arm compatible with?

The rear mounting plate is designed to fit GM 10-bolt rear ends, as well as Moser and Strange 12-bolt housings, and most Ford 9-inch rear ends.

Product Details

UMI Performance is known for making well-built suspension components for performance vehicles. If you're looking to get the most out of your 1982-2002 GM F-Body, like your Chevrolet Camaro or Pontiac Firebird, this adjustable torque arm is a solid upgrade. It replaces the factory torque arm, which can flex and cause traction issues, especially under hard acceleration. This aftermarket unit adds strength and rigidity, helping to transfer your engine's power directly to the wheels.

This torque arm is built from strong 1.250" x 0.120" DOM seamless steel tubing and features a CNC-machined rear mounting plate made from 0.375" thick mild steel. It uses a low-deflection Energy Suspension front bushing to replace the stock rubber one, and the rear mount incorporates QA1 3/4" rod ends for precise movement. The whole assembly is fully MIG welded for durability. A key feature is its on-car adjustability, allowing you to easily set your pinion angle using a heat-treated adjuster and QA1 rod ends, which is crucial for optimizing power delivery and reducing drivetrain stress.

Installation is straightforward as it bolts directly in place of the factory torque arm, using existing mounting holes. No drilling or welding is required, making it a direct bolt-on part. This torque arm is designed to eliminate wheel hop and reduce your 60-foot times, giving you more immediate traction off the line. Note that models from 1982-1984 will need an updated clamshell mount from a 1985 or newer vehicle for proper installation.
