Product Details
Ford Mustang 1982, Torque Box Reinforcement Plate Kit by BMR Suspension®. Increase stiffness and reinforce the torque boxed in your car with Upper Torque Box Reinforcement Braces from BMR Suspension. The Fox-chassis Mustangs were not known for being super strong. When large amounts of torque are applied to the chassis, the factory torque boxes are known to crack and rip. This causes all kinds of rearend alignment issues, poor performance, and unsafe driving conditions. Designed from heavy-duty DOM steel tubing and CNC-laser cut, CNC-formed steel plate, BMR’s Upper Torque Box Reinforcement Braces are designed to bolt into the Mustang chassis, adding strength to the upper control arm mounts. This means you can put as much power and torque to the wheels as possible, without fear of damaging this critical area of the chassis. BMR’s TBR005 Upper Torque Box Reinforcement Braces (tubular) are designed for street performance, drag race, and handling applications.
Features
- Reduces upper control arm mount deflection
- 100% bolt-in design
- Increases the amount of horsepower and torque that can safely be applied to the chassis
- CNC-laser cut, CNC-formed, MIG welded steel plate for precise fit
The torque arms use the rear factory mounting locations with heavy-duty rod ends. Instant center and pinion angle is adjustable using five positions on the torque arm cross member and a CNC machined 4130 Chrome-moly adjuster. Mounting the torque arm to the transmission tunnel mount instead of the transmission tail shaft is ideal for high-horsepower applications. The tunnel mount design removes the load from the transmission, which can damage the transmission. This design puts the heavy loads of high-power cars into the chassis. The torque arm cross member provides an adjustable mounting plate for the torque arm, while adding strength to the floor by reinforcing the transmission tunnel. The torque arm cross member gives you five positions for instant center and pinion angle adjustability.
The heavy-duty Chrome-moly adjuster in the torque arm allows for on-car fine-tuning of pinion angle. The torque arm mounts to the cross member with a 95-durometer polyurethane bushing and a heavy-duty 1/4" laser-cut, CNC-formed steel plate. This transfers power efficiently, without huge increases in NVH. BMR designed its Tunnel Mounted Torque Arms for street performance, drag race, and handling applications. The TA012 is designed for F-bodies with aftermarket exhaust. The torque arm cross member is formed tightly to the body, not only giving you increased room for exhaust, but more ground clearance for lowered vehicles. It incorporates an integrated NHRA-legal driveshaft safety loop into the torque arm cross member, making this the perfect torque are for the street or track.
