Aren't the mounting tabs on the rear end for the torque arm perpendicular to how they should be?

I am not sure what you mean, but are you saying the base of the tabs should be perpendicular to the corresponding arm?

Here is mine again

Here is a pic Jake sent of a recent install he did.

^^^^^^^^^^^

Hm the bottom one has a Watts link the guy on the top was two cheap to go that route. That is what I see.

The torque arm is going to provide minimum fore and aft support and it's main function is to stabilize pinion angle. I don't see it being a problem having the tabs either way. I can see your point though, it probably would be stronger on the opposite axis since it's preventing pinion wrap.

Why you bringing logic into this thread?

Think of it more as..... "weight savings". Yeah! That's it!
