Doug Norrdin installs the TracLink's torque arm
assembly. |
 |
The torque arm rear bracket bolts to the rear
axle. Pinion angle is adjustable using the arm's
spherical bearings. |
 |
The torque arm's front mount is isolated by
urethane cushions and is held in place with a large nut.
|
 |
The nut is capped with a grease fitting. At
this arm slides in an out of the bracket on the TracLink,
it must be periodically greased. We use Red Line CV-2
Synthetic Grease.
