UMI Performance 2236-R Weld-In Torque Arm & Straight Crossmember | Red Powder Coat

The UMI Performance 2236-R is a weld-in torque arm and straight crossmember kit engineered for 3rd and 4th Gen GM F-body vehicles. The shortened torque arm length improves instant center geometry, reduces 60-foot times, and delivers enhanced forward traction. The straight front crossmember design is specifically built to clear tight header and y-pipe setups, and the weld-in installation method allows you to raise or lower the crossmember before final welding for perfect clearance.

A key performance benefit of this kit is that it relocates the torque arm's front mounting point away from the transmission tailshaft — protecting it from the stress of hard launches and aggressive driving. The on-car adjustable pinion angle ensures a vibration-free driveline at any ride height. Available in a brilliant red powder coat finish.

Torque Arm Construction:

• Torque arm constructed of 1.250" x 0.120" DOM steel tubing
• Crossmember constructed of 1.500" x 0.120" DOM steel tubing
• Rear mounting plates use 0.375" thick mild steel
• Laser-cut plates ensure precise hole-to-hole accuracy
• TIG-welded 4140 CrMo tube adapters
• On-car adjuster built from 4140 CrMo steel, heat treated for maximum strength
• Front mounting point features a greaseable pivot point

Polyurethane Bushing Features:

• Greaseable polyurethane bushings for extended service life
• Designed to minimize road noise transfer into the cabin

Rear End Compatibility:

• Fits stock rear end as well as 12-Bolt, Ford 9", and S60 rear-end housings

CrMo Upgrade Option: The CrMo version uses 1.250" x 0.095" 4130 CrMo steel with 100% TIG-welded construction for increased strength and reduced weight. Recommended for vehicles running 10.50s and quicker in the quarter mile.

Required Hardware Notes: Through-bolt rear axle housings require UMI P/N 3003 to complete installation on factory, Strange, Moser 9", and most other housings. Use UMI P/N 2998 for Moser 12-bolt four-bolt-mount designs. Crossmember installation requires welding and cutting. Torque arm must be used with 2-point subframe connectors.

Finish: Brilliant red powder coat. Also available in black (see part number 2236-B).
