The torque arm relocation kit from UMI Performance is designed to remove
the front mounting point of the torque arm off the transmission and
protect the tail shaft from damage. General Motors tail shaft mounted
design works great for a stock driven vehicle however it is not
designed to take abuse and hard launches. This set-up replaces your
transmission cross member with a new stronger set-up with a built in
torque arm mount. Each relocation kit is designed to fit a specific
transmission and will work with virtually any stock style aftermarket
torque arm as well as the factory torque arm. This unit is built using
rectangular mild steel tubing, 0.188” mild steel mounting plates and
includes all appropriate hardware needed for the installation. The
torque arm mount is machined from 0.250” thick mild steel and features a
new clam shell for appropriately attaching the torque arm to the new
cross member. Please use the FAQ’s below for additional information.

work excellent with the stock torque arm.
