I'm installing the aluminum driveshaft and theres a big *** black cover looking thing all along the right side of the driveshaft that attaches to the rear diff. Do I need this? I kinda want to take it off bc its heavy and i cant get the damn thing to fit back on. HELP FAST!

that's your torque arm.
yes, you need it. -

you lost your pinion angle when you took it off originally. make sure you get it right when you put it back in or you will be in for some differential heartache.Comment

Erm, what were you removing the torque arm for to replace the driveshaft? I'll admit that top bolt that holds the center bearing to the torque arm isn't pleasant to get to, but it wasn't impossible.1994 Firebird 3.4<br />15.65 @ 86.8<br /><a href=\"http://www.funkz.net/firebird.htm\" target=\"_blank\">funkz.net/firebird</a><br /><a href=\"http://mywebpages.comcast.net/funkz/timeslips.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Timeslips</a>Comment

Did you have a jack under the rear housing? If you did the housing shouldn't have moved. If you don't feel like screwing with putting the stocker back on go buy an adjustable arm ;)Ben<br /><br />1995 White/Black 3.4L<br />As far away from stock as possible<br /><a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/member_pages/view_page.pl?page_id=288292\" target=\"_blank\">My Site!!!</a><br /><a href=\"http://www.redlinevsix.com\" target=\"_blank\">RedLineV6</a><br />Rebuild and 3.4 T70 Turbo is complete<br />Details to come....Comment

FWIW: It would have been easier to remove the torque arm (TA) at the clamshell mount near the transmission, bolt the TA to the differential, then reinsert the TA in the clamshell. It shouldn't have took more than 5 minutes doing it this way and you wouldn't have had to fight with it. ;)
Sorry I didn't see this thread sooner.
