Anyone run torque arms? Looking for good traction/torque steer reduction mods...

Anyone run anything of the sort? I'm not running a high HP/TQ motor but i've noticed on my car that not only do I not have low end traction (which is no surprise), but it torque steers like crazy, almost pulling me in other lanes. I can handle it, its not a big deal but I want absolute full control of it. My A-arm bushings are good and have been replaced before, ball joints should be good although I plan on redoing those in the future, struts/mounts are all newer, i'm pretty confedent my front suspension is up to par.

Only ideas I have so far is some sort of torque arm setup like Thrashers , and some sort of LSD. The GM is way more than I'm willing to spend for something not 100% perfect. The only half way decent ones i've heard of is the EP diff but I hear there quite difficult to get.

Looking for ideas, thanks!
 


I like the thrasher kit.

Wbody store quit running their modified A arms as they werent cost effective.

ZZP has had failures with their tubular A arms...

I know SDD was working on some this past year.. but havent heard anything else about them.
 
really? i can do a 3-1 downshift and mine only jerks a little bit. i think you guys have suspension problems.
 
I don't have it too bad...but it's there....Sorry I don't have any advice for you Shawn
 


Suspension problem is not likely in my case, i've done everything over time, including A-arm bushing which I bet most people are still on there originals. My car handles and rides tight, you'd never guess the mileage.

I noticed it more with the 3.29s and the 3000 stall. I've got a bit more low end power now and its noticable. With the little bit i've mess with on a couple of tweaks, traction is way worse...

well i got mostly new parts and the car handles pretty well for a boat.

-new control arms both sides
-new gr2 struts w/ ssc springs and all new hardware
-new tie rod end

torque steer is better but not enough to say barely any...

I just ordered 2 new inner and 2 new outer tie rods, hopefully thats the weakest link.
 
here is set I made

Yea they help,as far as parts I just ordered rod ends from summit and some 3/4" heavy wall pipe from Tractor supply alittle measuring a little welding and viola trac bars ,cost of parts about $50 ,I did change the front mount setup from the picture as I was having a little clearance issue instead of the mounting bracket facing down they now face side ways old II new = .
