If your car is twisting up real bad, check to see if you spun a tube in the housing. It would also make it squirly up top a little.

Charles, look to see if there is a little oil starting to leak around the tube.

Any car with a torque arm doesn't have to worry about a welded housing. It's mostly leaf spring or four link cars that will spin the housing on the tubes due to rotational torque. Being a torque arm terminates rotational torque right at the housing instead of the tubes, the can't spin.

Wow cool info i never really thought about it before but makes perfect sense. when i bought mycar previous owner had installed the 12 bolt and welded the tubes. I am still running stock torque arm but since had to repair it twice and reinforce the hell out of it with heavy steel ! Since then ben good nock on wood .LOL I here spoon might start make some after market ones for H -body cars soon. If he does i will buy one.Still have those Hooker Supercomp headers for sale for H-body like brand new $250.00
