Leaf springs are fine for stock street vehicles, but performance driving and power adders can expose their weaknesses. Rotational torque from hard acceleration can cause the rear axle housing to bend the rear springs; this condition is called axle wrap. It can cause the rear suspension to “squat,” create a loss of traction, and even break the springs.
There are several ways to combat axle wrap, and the right method for your application depends on a wide variety of factors. Suspension torque arms perform the job by tying together the rear axle housing and the rear of the front subframe. They’re great if you don’t have the...

There are several ways to combat axle wrap, and the right method for your application depends on a wide variety of factors. Suspension torque arms perform the job by tying together the rear axle housing and the rear of the front subframe. They’re great if you don’t have the room for a 4-link above the axles (or just don’t want to cut the floor or lose the back seats), and they’re ideal for road course racing as well.

UMI Performance transmission mounted torque arms eliminate unwanted traction problems and transfer your power to the wheels. UMI Performance transmission mounted torque arms bolt on directly in place of the factory unit using existing mounting holes and require no drilling or welding. These torque arms are designed to eliminate wheel hop under hard acceleration and reduce 60 ft. times instantly. UMI Performance transmission mounted torque arms are supplied with a low-deflection front bushing designed to replace the stock rubber bushing and bolt in the existing clamshell. The rear torque arm mount is constructed entirely of 0.375 in. thick, CNC-machined mild steel and is fully MIG-welded. These torque arms feature on-car adjustability for easy pinion angle adjustments using a 4140 heat-treated adjuster and 3/4 in. rod ends. Additional features include: * Constructed from 1.250 in. x 0.120 in. DOM seamless steel tubing * TIG-welded 4140 chromoly tube adapters * On-car adjuster built using 4140 chromoly steel and heat-treated for maximum strength * All mounting plates are CNC-machined to ensure hole-to-hole accuracy * Rear mounting plates use 0.375 in. thick mild steel and are designed to fit stock as well as 12-bolt and 9 in. rear-end housings * Rear mounts feature solid 3/4 in. rod ends and are attached using Grade 8 hardware * Durable powdercoated finish

UMI Performance tunnel mounted torque arms are a proven fourth-generation setup designed to remove the front mounting point of the torque arm off of the transmission, protecting the tailshaft from damage. They also work great for transmission swaps when a clamshell torque arm is not feasible. These torque arms include instant center adjustment brackets and can be purchased with or without a front driveshaft loop. They bolt into existing floor pan holes with no drilling or welding required.

UMI Performance 1993-2002 GM F-Body 3-pt. subframe connectors and torque arm kits provide an easy bolt-on drag race solution for GM F-bodies. These suspension connectors reinforce the chassis and prevent quarter-panel wrinkling from hard launches; a tunnel-mounted torque arm is the proven solution to reduce 60 ft. times. Shortened torque arm improves instant center location; as a result, forward traction is improved. These kits include removable and replaceable NHRA-approved driveshaft loop. Using both parts together dramatically reduces chassis flex. Product features: * 3-pt. subframe connectors reinforce chassis and prevent quarter-panel buckling * Shorter than stock, tunnel-mounted torque arm improves forward traction * Complete kit braces entire underside of car to reduce chassis flex * NHRA approved driveshaft loop (removable and replaceable) * Includes hardware

BMR Suspension tunnel mounted torque arms improve handling, reduce wheel hop, and add strength plus adjustability to your 4th Gen GM F-body. These packages mount the torque arm to the transmission tunnel mount instead of the transmission tail shaft, making them ideal for high-horsepower applications. The tunnel mount design removes the load from the transmission, which can damage the transmission, and puts the heavy loads of high-power cars into the chassis. The torque arm crossmember provides an adjustable mounting plate for the torque arm, while adding strength to the floor by reinforcing the transmission tunnel. Features: * Heavy-duty 1.25 in., 0.120 in. wall DOM steel tubing * Heavy-duty 1/4 in. laser-cut, CNC-formed steel plate * MIG-welded * Five mounting positions for instant center and pinion angle adjustability * Integrated driveshaft safety loop (TA011/TA012) * Increased clearance for long-tube headers/aftermarket exhaust (TA012/TA014) * Mounts to the driveshaft tunnel brace * Uses factory differential mount * CNC-machined, on-car torque arm adjuster for pinion angle * 95-durometer polyurethane front mount * Massive increase in strength over factory torque arm * Available in black hammertone or red powdercoat
