torque arm ES poly bushing and B&M changeover kit
bought the B&M changeover kit. Installed the TH-350. tried 2 outside torque arm brackets and they wont close up on the energy suspension bushing. is it supposed to be that tight or is something wrong? I noticed from searching that the B&M kit has the groove in the top and bolt holes in the bottom for the outer bracket to mount to. Stock stuff and the other changeover kits are opposite. Is this relevant or just easier to get to the bolts? So should i flip the bushing upside down too? anyone got any pics would be greatly appreciated. THANKS

i busted out my die grinder and had to remove a large portion of the torque arm mount poly bushing. especially about 1/4 inch off the bottom. I probably shaved off another 1/8 inch off the width to get the bracket to close tight enough to screw it down. just remove a little at a time and you shouldn't have any problems. the stock mount would compress much more than the energy suspension one would, and that's why i had to shave some off. still fits in there tight as can be and i've noticed no problems by doing that.
hope this helps.
