BMR Torque Arm Kit for GM 10-Bolt Rear End - Red (TA008R) - 1974-1981 GM F-Body
Add a modern suspension configuration, improve handling, and eliminate wheel hop and axle wrap on your classic second-generation GM F-body with a Torque Arm Conversion Kit from BMR Suspension. The factory leaf spring suspension does very little to control axle movement in any direction. Traditional traction bars counteract axle wrap by loading the suspension, essentially turning the front portion of the leaf spring into a solid link that compromises ride quality and limits normal suspension travel. BMR's torque arm works independently of your leaf springs, providing maximum traction while allowing the leaf springs to perform their natural function of supporting the vehicle weight.
With the BMR torque arm installed, axle wrap is eliminated, pinion rise is strictly controlled, and the rear end is free to fully articulate over road transitions and bumps with zero bind. Manufactured from heavy-duty boxed steel and DOM steel tubing, this system features 3/16-inch and 3/8-inch laser-cut, CNC-formed steel mounting plates to handle extreme loads. The kit is engineered to be 100% bolt-on with no fabrication, cutting, or welding required. It includes an innovative crossmember that mounts between the body and the rear mount of the front subframe, complete with solid Delrin subframe bushings and a Delrin slider bushing at the torque arm front mount for quiet, bind-free articulation.
NOTE: Some 1974 models used carryover 1973 front subframes. Please verify your subframe style before ordering.
