Default Re: Torque Arm on F-body cars

Don is absolutely correct. After many launches, the bolts on the torque arm will eventually get loose. This is where the problem starts. Once a bolt backs completely out, it will be easy for another to do so as well. Once this happens, it will result in twisting the bracket. I recommend loctite for the bolts and torquing them periodically. Even with loctite, it is still possible for the bolts to back out. So, torquing them frequently is the only way to prevent this. Also, in the past we used the factory torque arms, the bolts still back out of these too.
