Why can't a Mustang run a torque arm?

[Wade]

Wayne, Aren't you still running all of your lines through the factory routing and factory (disabled) ABS module? Does anyone have any experience on whether or not that system should be replumbed to help alleviate the issue? My understanding at TWS was that you had all of the rear brake dialed out that you could.

dial out rear brake and get rear shocks with better rebound dampening.

Before the new brakes I already had the bias all the way to the front with Autozone street pads on the back.

I do have DA Koni's but haven't added rear rebound because the car was almost undriveably loose on entry as it was. (Even Proctor said that he wouldn't want to drive it in traffic.) Higher tire pressure has helped that a lot, although I can't figure out why exactly.

Glenn asked about driving style. I know that I need to use the brakes harder, maybe I'm now applying them too fast? I seem to have the axle hop when I try to brake harder but I haven't reached any lockup yet.

Make sure torque arm bolts are tight, and that shocks are functioning correctly. I had loose torque arm bolts and busted right rear shock......too many take-offs and landings.

I have had the same problem. I guess the torque arm worked loose and then broke the shock from moving around so much. It will cause more brake hop for sure.

I like to refere to the bias a different way. The valve has a "<-----less more----->" on top. So it should be less rear brake or more rear brake. So be sure that when your turning it in the "less" direction, your wanting less rear brake and if your turning it in the "more" direction your wanting more rear brake. The valve should be plumbed into the forward brake line port on the master. Be sure the arrow is pointing towards the rear calipers.

W/ you seemingly complaining of this much more that other folks, it seems your car is the issue. There has to be something simple that is being overlooked causing your car to be worst that others.
Rear shocks are important, but the fronts could also be contributing to it. A lack of compresion in the front will allow too much weight transfer.

Dont get the increase in rear pressures helping a loose condition.
