Adj. Torque Arm

I just finished installing it now I need to set it. Can anyone just quickly tell me how to set it up for street driving? Also the damn driveshaft loop hangs real low, Infact it is the lowest thing now. Is there anything I can do saving cutting it off.

How do I set the torque arm?

How should I set my panhard bar?

Who made the Torque Arm? Mine was Spoon and it came with instructions for setting it up.

Re: Adj. Torque Arm

Can you take a pic of your driveshaft loop? Curious to see how low it sits.. Also which company TQ arm is it?

Re: Adj. Torque Arm

It's a Spohn. I got it off Ebay from Camaro Hawks. It didn't come with the instructions or the pinion angle tool that it says it should from Spohn if bought from them directly.

I'll try to get a pic of the loop. But it is now the lowest thing on my car.

Just go to spohn.net and then to their support center and then instructions and then search for your sku. I just guessed yours was this one.

Re: Adj. Torque Arm

This is what i did ;
cut the drive shaft loop bracket and angle it up and also cut close to the loop it self and re position loop and reweld , notice also i chose to add the two supports behind the original crossmember mounting points for added support.
hope the pictures will help
