propably works with the large bushings tho... just dont try solid bushings
(im not knocking it, havent tried it, just posting an observation on the engineering of ot)

No binding there. The front torque arm mount has a steel slider that goes in a greased, fluted delrin bushing. It allows forward movement and rotational movement (during body roll). The delrin bushing has spiral flutes machined into it to hold the grease. Of course, the front torque arm mount also pivots.
BMR is the leading suspension manufacturer for 3rd and 4th gen F-Bodies, so we have manufactured tons of torque arm suspensions. This torque arm suspension for the 1st and 2nd gen is the most advanced suspension that we make. The Pro Touring market demands the best, so we incorporated lots of features and benefits into the design.
Check out the May issue of Chevy High Performance (pp 64-65) for a nice image and more detailed description of this product.
