Torque arm
How important is a torque arm in a daily driver? I've never had one in any of my A-bodies I owned and this is my first F-body. It's a 4 banger with a 4-speed and I'm not even sure if it even has a torque arm. Can somebody post some pix of theirs? Thanx for any input.

It does have it, and it does need it. Look under the car for a stamped arm going from the tail of the trans to the axle, following the driveshaft. Thats the torque arm.

That answers my question, thanks! I memmer seeing it when I changed the oil and thought WTF is that?! I've been reading about 'em but didn't know what they were talking about until I looked up torque arms at Spohn Performance. I just wanted someone to verify this. Thanks again Air_Adam!
