<<< Broken Torque Arm Bushing >>>

How much is my old, stock, worn-out, and broken torque arm mount hurting me? How much of a difference is there in a new poly one? Keep in mind this is and will be the stock TA.
Thanks
Brady

I don't know how much it's hurting you, but it's hurting me just thinking about when mine was broken.

You can get a new one from Energy Suspension, you just have to make sure you get the right one. There are IIRC 3 styles of torque arms, it's hard to predict which one a given car has, so you have to get under there and look. The 2 mozt common ones are exactly the same except they are mirror images of each other. The "lips" on the arm face either toward or away from the trans.

well i have been under quite a bit lately (too much IMO), and i know that the lips face away from the driveshaft, or towards the drivers side. a new poly one from enery suspension is only $13, i will see if they have them at a local place and if not put it on my next order. thanks

the poly is great, its easier to install the torque arm with the urethane VS the rubber

Yes. I noticed that with the new one, there's no slamming of the torque arm when I put it in gear.
