UMI Performance Transmission Mounted Adjustable Torque Arm for 1982-2002 GM F-Body Vehicles
The UMI Performance adjustable torque arm is a transmission-mounted design mounts directly to the transmission tailshaft, providing precise control over drivetrain movement to reduce wheel hop and ensure consistent launches. Drivers report noticeable gains in 60-foot times during drag strip runs, thanks to its ability to maintain optimal pinion angle under load. Built for reliability on street, strip, and track applications, it outperforms stock setups by minimizing deflection and transferring more torque to the rear wheels without the need for custom fabrication.
Key Features and Benefits
- On-Car Adjustability: Fine-tune pinion angle from under the vehicle using the integrated adjustment mechanism no disassembly required for quick trackside changes.
- Bolt-On Installation: Direct replacement for the factory torque arm installs in about 1-2 hours with basic tools. No drilling, welding, or modifications needed, making it accessible for weekend mechanics.
- Durable Construction: Crafted from DOM seamless steel tubing for strength, with TIG-welded chrome moly adapters and CNC-machined mild steel mounting plates to handle high-horsepower builds.
- Polyurethane Bushings: Included greaseable bushings resist wear and eliminate slop, delivering firmer response compared to rubber alternatives.
- Red Powder Coat Finish: Corrosion-resistant coating withstands harsh conditions, from salted roads to track spray.
- Made in the USA: Precision laser-cut parts and welds ensure consistent quality from North American materials.
This torque arm stands out for high-performance GM F-Body owners seeking dependable traction control that handles everything from daily driving to full-throttle passes. It addresses common issues like inconsistent shifts and lost power in modified vehicles, delivering results that keep you ahead on the road or at the line.

Suspension Arms & Components
Suspension arms and components include the control arms, camber adjustment arms, traction bars, toe arms, and tie rod assemblies that define suspension geometry and connect the wheel hubs to the vehicle chassis. Quality suspension arm upgrades correct geometry on modified vehicles and replace worn factory components to restore precise handling. Popular Suspension Arm Upgrades Popular suspension arm upgrades include adjustable rear camber arm kits for correcting camber on lowered vehicles, rear traction arm replacement kits, tubular front lower control arms for improved geometry and clearance, adjustable toe arm kits, upgraded tie rod ends with improved ball joint construction, and full rear suspension arm upgrade packages for popular sport and performance platforms. Why do lowered vehicles need adjustable suspension arms? Lowering a vehicle changes the geometry of the suspension arms relative to the factory-intended range of motion, introducing excessive negative camber in the rear ...
