====Torque arm==== A torque arm setup utilizes two lower control arms while having a unique arm which attaches near the center of the rear end near the pinion. This third torque arm extends all the way to the transmission tailshaft or crossmember. It can use either coilovers or a coil spring and shock setup. Also this setup (like the 3-link) requires either a Panhard bar or Watts link for centering the rear axle. This system is known to be a good handling set up, however during hard launches the flexing of the torque arm can change pinion angle. One solution to this problem is to buy a sturdier aftermarket torque arm.
