Re: torque arm bushing
It sure looks like someone used the WRONG bushing on your car. You need : Energy Suspension: 3.1111R Here is some info that should help.
Look at this pic: This is the only ThirdGen T5 Torque Arm mount I've ever seen. Note: the top of the mount is rounded when compared to the automatic version.
Look at this pic.
On the bottom left is a 82-84 'solid' Torque Arm, On the bottom right is a 85-92 'Holes' Torque Arm. You can see how the fingers at the front end of the T/A are pointed to the pass side on the early TA and to the drivers side on the later version. The Torque Arm Mount is the basically the same ( "early" outer clamshell has a notch at the top, The top of the later version is 'squared' ) but the rubber BUSHING faces in the opposite direction. The factory bushings are held in by rivets that must be drilled out when a replacement bushing is installed.
And for good measure;

Can't find the stock OEM style rubber bushings,... but the aftermarket still has plenty of Poly bushings left !

Re: torque arm bushing
ANY time a POLY bushing is used you will notice a bit more vibration when compared to a factory rubber bushing. Some folks notice it more than others and some people barely notice at all. IMO: It's a personal preference thing really..............
