12 bolts with the torque arm are a shitty setup anyways. Moser should have designed the mount differently. ---

Deff from load from the t r.q ARM breaking +1There is no way your aluminum driveshaft should have been able to break the torque arm. I’ve spit driveshafts out of 2 cars at speed and had the arm get beat up cosmetically, but no other problems. How is the pinion any play?Also I have a spare steel D.S. if you need/want one. Looked at your pics again, looks like the mount for the T arm to axle failed. Then the pinion angle got all fucked up and destroyed the shaft and front mount for the arm. Just my .02 though ---

yah I believe the arm broke then the shaft. it all happened at once, so its not like I had a way to tell what went first. It was like a grenade under the car. and thanks for the offer on the steel drive shaft, but I cant put a stock one back in it. Im going to buy the 3" PST steel driveshaft with the forged yoke and up-graded U joint for my 12 bolt. Its good for 1000rwhp+ and 1.2 60’. ---
