There are a lot of really cool features to this new system. To me, the torque arm itself is a work of art. It’s the same type of construction as our Camaro clips; fabricated box-tube construction comprised of laser cut panels with overlapping seams. This allows us to make it extremely strong and light without adding a lot of external bracing. We have been using this method for over ten years and, when paired with our in-house finite element analysis, it gives you a bulletproof end result.

The front torque arm connection, referred to as a ‘Sliding-Link,’ comes standard with a steel-sleeved poly bushing. A spherical pivotball is also available. Both versions feature a billet steel eye mount which is inserted in a greased bore in a billet receiver on the front of the torque arm. The bore is machined with a spiral, rifling pattern so that the link stays properly greased. A wiper seal keeps out road grime.
Because not everyone has the same third member, there are two different pinion support mounts. The first will fit standard Ford 9” and Strange S-Series cases. The second is designed to fit the Strange HD-Pro aluminum case.
Our gStreet Torque Arms use a serrated tab and washer mechanism to enable incremental pinion angle adjustment without the risk of slippage.
A lateral adjustment mechanism below the rearend housing allows the torque arm to be perfectly aligned with the chassis bracket at the gConnector center support without affecting the wheelbase squareness.
