Trans Xmember w Tq arm mount - how to adjust
I have a bmr t56 xmember with torque arm mount. Where is a good starting point for the position of the tq arm mount. How do you determine when and how to adjust it.

Each increment is 1.5 degrees if I remember right. That crossmember points the trans waaaay down to make it a bolt on piece. I'm at like 5* tilt at the crank pulley with this same setup. Have to have an adjustable arm and that's still not enough.
Ideal degree is 2* less pinion angle than engine angle if you've got poly, less if it's rod end. Get a harbor freight degree finder and put it on the balancer, then the bottom of the torque arm plate.

The adjuster at the axle side is simply to set pinion angle. Height adjustments at the front changes instant center of the suspension, which affects forward traction and braking traction.
