Kevin Patten Posted November 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 It will be well worth the effort - like getting a new car. Is Santa going to bring you a torque arm for Christmas ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboGT Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Is Santa going to bring you a torque arm for Christmas ? It was on my wish list - we'll see. My poor GT500 has been stuck in a storage facility while garage is full of furniture during a home remodel. Looking forward to bringing her back home in the next week and getting back to the track very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Haney Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 Albino, it has been awhile since I've seen this thread. I have the CorteX TA, Watts Link, LCA and LCA Brackets installed on my car now. I went with the track version with spherical bearings throughout. NVH for these mods is minor in my opinion. The only trait that I consider harsh is the TA transmits a thump to the underside of the tunnel when the ring and pinion are floating back and forth on the backlash of the gears set while transitioning ON/OFF the throttle at cruise conditions. Now how does it plant the tires coming off a corner exit? Beautifully. The grip increase is amazing compared to the LCA/UCA set up. You will be able to get in the throttle much sooner and deeper at corner exit to be able carry a higher exit speed. If you hit a bump in the middle of the corner that is transitioning from uphill on entry to downhill on exit, the car doesn't lose all of the rear bite like it did with the LCA/UCA system. You will be very happy with this mod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hunters1 Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 Question? If I read correctly someone mentions shims to achieve correct pinion angle after install of TA on lowered cars with LCA's. Is that the way to get to 1.5-2 degrees without UCA?

Slabo Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 Looks like BMR is working on a Torque Arm and Watts combo. http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/svt-shelby-gt500-150/989036-parts-pipeline-bmr-suspension.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
