Well the whole adjustable torque arm is from Spohn Performance but if is just the bit you circled thats just a spherical rod end.

Maybe BMR has a "piviot ball" back there but I know Spohn's don't. there is no side to movement back there, aside from making it easier to adjust the rear, what is the point of having a regular rod end back there?

I've prolly put together over a thousand of spohn torque arms together when I worked there. They are a soild rod end. Don't argue, you are wrong.

what is a "solid rod end" and a "spherical rod end" my spohn torque arm moves side to side with the rod ends, i had it only bolted to the rear when installing it and it swung side to side. but i know they are solid rod ends. it even says it in the paper work. but i got it with a spherical front rod end i think. it was 15 bucks more for the front mount, im just asking what the difference is since you would know after working at spohn. i go there to pick up my stuff and love the guys there.

Have the complete Spohn setup including the adjustable
Torque arm on my car and on the rear is a swivel Hiem
joint and screws into tube in front with a jam nut.

Nice people there as they even powder coated all the
pieces there in OEM Iroc gold trim to match the trim on
the car at no extra cost.

A solid rod end doesn't have the sperical ball in it. It is all one peice.



Regular sperical rod end



Hope that clears that up.
