We Check Out Chris Alston Chassisworks New Torque Arm Rear Suspension For Camaros And Novas

Torque arms are cool. And they can be found in everything from drag cars to road race machines, autocross to stock offerings from GM. They offer some really unique rear suspension geometry advantages compared to tradition three and four-link systems, and can even be better than a triangulated 4-link for when setup properly. Acceleration, braking, and articulation can all be optimized with a properly setup torque arm suspension, but if you don’t set it up correctly it can be a flaming pile. Such is not the case with Chris Alston’s Chassisworks Torque Arm Suspension for 1967-1982 Camaros and 1962-197. This sucker is scienced out and will hook like mad and stop like the hand of God himself reached up and grabbed you.

Highlights of the system include both direct and universal fitments, billet steel torque arm ends, high misalignment  joints, a panhard bar or Watts Link option, g-Connector system option, and much much more. The g-Connector system works like a set of subframe connectors on steroids and also provides a driveshaft safety loop, torque arm front mount, etc.

But what if my old car doesn’t meet factory specs you ask? A genius and simple shim system insures that your system will install in your car no matter how far off the General may have been back in the day. We are very impressed with this system and the small details that make mounting and installing it a pretty simple process. Yes it should have some parts welded. Yes it would be easier to install with a lift. But with that said we think this could be a really fun project that will leave you with something unique that is going to make your car a riot to drive once you figure out what parts to install up front.

This is the complete system, including g-Connector system, and you can see this sucker comes with everything. Take a look at the inserts that weld into the back of the factory subframe.

If you want to see a cool Watt’s Link design, then look no further. Double shear, counter bored spacers and mounting brackets, and more mean this one is designed to be punished and live through it.

The Driveshaft Loop is not only adjustable front to back with both major and minor adjustments, but it also has the ability to adjust up and down, which means you can adjust it for a perfect fit with just hand tools.

This just might be our favorite part of the whole system. This billet steel piece welds into the end of the Torque Arm and provides all the leverage and force that is being funneled through the torque arm under acceleration and braking. l am seriously impressed with the level of fit and finish on this kit, and l can’t wait to use Chassisworks Torque Arm technology on a new project we have coming up too.

    Most of you are probably too young to remember 1950 Oldsmobile drive lines or 50’s Buicks with torque tubes that connected the transmission to the rear end. Same deal on pre 1955 Chevrolet passenger cars.

    So the billet steel piece replaces the front joint in the torque arm? There were way to many people to ask questions, yesterday.
