I've been thinking about the Torque Arm Impact to breaking. I am still planning to order and use a Torque arm but wanted to think out the issue and the physics of what was happening. I drew out a sim

Wow, Daniel, that is a lot of thinking. But, basically I think your reasoning is sound. If one applies the argument that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, then maybe that whic

Take a look at the afco racing catalog circle track / dirt track racing books and you will find out what these guys are doing to solve the problem and some pit falls. I know the likes of the GT350 Sh

The rearends in GM cars that came equipped with torque arms from the factory are prone to brake hop under hard braking on road courses. Brake hop under deceleration in third- and fourth-gen F-bodies

Bob, Many thanks for sharing your rather sobering spinout experiences and the technical information. The latter is going to take me more than one read to understand everything, but I am getting the p

I have had Dan's torque arm on my car for a long time. I have participated autocross and open track events and never experienced any issues under braking. My brakes are stock front brakes with Dale's

I have also had Dan's torque arm on my car for fifteen years or so and I've never experienced a problem during braking. I've had the car on the VIR track several times, where maximum braking is as im

It seems to me we might be missing some variables with the setup since there are variable results. Possibly different front or rear spring rates or maybe brake pads and type of tire. I'm going to thr

This is a great discussion. Recently I have been looking under Camaro's, Firebirds and other GM models for transmissions. When I saw the torque arm on the Camaro and Firebird I instantly thought of a

Ron, I think the main variable is the specific design of the torque arm (geometry, construction and mounting techniques). I assume the production GM F-body design has many compromises due to cost and

The only observation I'd make is the rubber bushing design does not allow for any possible de-coupling of the torque arm under braking. As others have pointed out, there are a number of other variabl
