torque arm upside down

[LETZRIDE]

What bad can happen from installing a tunnel mount tq arm upside down? i.e this sphon arm flipped over? (the bracket that connects to rear end is fine as is the cross brace)

The mentally retarded shop that installed it put it in upside down, and Ive been driving it like this for about a week or two...trying to figure out all sorts of sounds. I also need to drive it a few more days before I can swing it by my own trusted guy.

Any possible damage to anything? am I unsafe at the moment?

I would think the pinion angle is way off to the point you could break the rear u joint.

I would have never thought of this,but seeing it in a pic or in person it would have been an easy catch.

I got the same one slightly used,it's chromemoly,2 loops,the best rodend,I just priced out the one I have and its $627.00 plus $140.00 shipping with taxes and duty its about $1000.00.

I got the screaming deal of the century as I got it for $200.00 and he brought it to the track for me to pick up there:)

Good luck getting her done Mike,I will be doing mine on my back in the driveway and its gravel.

Re: torque arm upside down

The guy said he set the pinion angle to -2 (apparently with it upside down is that possible?)...I'm pretty pissed, either way the part will be flipped monday night. I'm just wondering now what I should be checking for damage...I'll have them look at the rear U-joint

And Tom that's a solid deal, mines steel and I got it for 220$...didn't I ever tell you about the US address place that is a hop/skip/jump from your house? 5$ a package they charge, and most places ship to the states free or rediculously cheap
