The torque arm helps keep the rear end from pitching up during acceleration. The rear also tends to pitch up while the car is still, so playing with the arm is not a good idea until you are sure of how it will move because you could loose/break fingers easily.

If you take it out, you will be lucky if you can drive the car with out destroying something.
