Been slow progress but I have been working on getting the 8.8 fabbed up with the help of a friend. Should have it squared away soon.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...49cd6b2d91.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...1e9095665e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...7e66a7f0a5.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...2351657415.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...7ab1731704.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...699d064c7a.jpg

Well 8.8 build is done, went with midwest chassis works lower control arms and panhard bar. Used a spohn adjustible tunnel mount torque arm. Moser 31 spline axles and 4.10s put about 10 miles on it. 4.10s made a huge difference cant wait to get it to the track and dialed in.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...699dd81c00.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...35a1134848.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...5ff092a570.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...f59e796719.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...abbb2b9bd8.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...d48ca003fb.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e7f1015040.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...c5a2c96d49.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...251ec3fc4b.jpg

Well after a good launch on the street the spohn torque arm failed and took out the drive shaft. Stuffed it in the trailer and gonna forget about it for a few weeks.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...972c58a50b.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...42efea939e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...7115ecbc39.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...f45126d146.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...91f87970bb.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...48d2259e35.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...7f10ca08fb.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9b09fda2bd.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...4e65dff487.jpg

I was thinking you said you had an x pipe, but I didn't think I saw one. Is the sound way different without the x pipe?

Honestly no not much different

Is it possible the u-joint/yoke failed and took out the torque arm?
The way it felt was the torque arm snapped flipping the rear to a wild pinion angle relieving the u joint of its duties. It's a solid u joint no zerk fittings 1330 conversion joint. It shouldnt fail.

Repairing the torque arm. Bought 1 inch solid steel bar inserted it 14 inches into the torque arm tube. Then hammered the broken pieces onto the other end checking alignment. Then tack welded it together cutting a grove into it for maximum penetration. Taking it to a friend to be tig welded tomorrow.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...6afff11a1d.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...46bf5d64c7.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...64f140e37e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e3fd396b71.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...54696c2a65.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...f2c7bd6cb0.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...c33c22c199.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...288b7aa65d.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...4f1ca9e0bb.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...c6e92157d1.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...5b314d82ba.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...4fabfeb2dc.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...2a93d003d5.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...a32741cbc3.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...c83ea0cacb.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...2ff2040fe7.jpg

Man, I know it's probably an old part, but did you talk to Spohn about that? I feel like a critical component like that shouldn't have failed like it did.
I emailed them no response. Had to buy the adjuster screw from them. They shipped it out right away but never responded to my email. I did a lot of reading it seems they do not stand behind this product with this issue. If you google spohn torque arm failure in google images there are a ton of pics with the same break. Costed about 100 bucks to fix it and make it stronger.Quote:

Well not much has happened with the car, I had some oil psi issues with a wot drop. So pulled the motor found a good bit of wear to the thrust bearing. So I got a canton pan from a friend and was getting ready to send it to the machine shop for a once over. Then I break my femur. I now have 2 rods in my right leg going up from knee to hip then one hip to pelvis. So this will be the end of this project for a good while. Hope to get back started on it just before the new year. Added a pic of the 99 jeep tj we just bought for my wife.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...1d7125855e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...7a083267b9.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...91076cd99d.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...6f5521f4bc.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...35d60a6d2a.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...45db4f6188.jpg
