I made a cross member to mount my adjustable tubular torque arm to.












After i welded the mount for the transmission bushing to bolt to i decided to not keep building it,
Heres why. The arm i had was a random technology which mounts to the tail shaft and uses a special bushing. At the beginning of the arm where it mounts to the tail shaft was threaded for what i thought was for rod end so i sized out a rod end i needed and ordered it. i screwed the rod end on the of the torque arm only to find out the speedo cable interferes with the operation and movements the arm will be doing. i could have maybe got by with an electric speedo or just cut the torque arm back a bit to accommodate the extra length the rod end added but i didn't want to cut it so i decided to just buy cross mounted torque arm instead which i should have just bought in the beginning

 

Is that an adjustable torque arm (for pinion angle) if so you might be able to adjust enough back at the rear end to drop the front down to clear the speado cable and mount it.

or hell it looks as if youu can weld cut an inch out of the length of the torque arm weld it back togather and mount it.

 

Your torque arm will need some kind of slip joint (bushing) or another method to allow the front of the torque arm to move forward and back as the suspension travels. It looks like you have a fixed position front mount which will not allow the rear axle to travel along the radius set by the control arms. The crossmember looks pretty good though.

 

i tried that but the hex stock was to long and even if i cut it the rod end would bottom out... the only thing i could have done was cut the front back a bit to accommodate the extra length the rod end added to the front of the bar

thanks, i had that in the works it was going to be just like spohns pivoting system they had. i just decided to sell the arm recope my funds and get a cross member mounted one
