Ummm, not on this planet they don't. Torque reaction is caused by the differential to whatever it is mounted to. Unless you have it mounted to the trailing arm (Tomcar) then there will be no torque effect. Now outboard brakes on the other hand.......

I believe it is actually caused by the fact the outer cvs are about 4 inches forward of the inner cvs, causing a torque lift to the rear end....Should we start a new thread, cause i know your going to make 30 posts arguing with me.... I got to crop a video then ill post it....

I should have said from torque reaction.Take a wheel off and post a side pic from the front suspension mounting points to the rear hub area. If you don't have a pic like that just a side pic should do.
