A torque reaction arm is something you attach to an air wrench or drill or similar tool on an assembly line to prevent operator fatigue or RSI. It isn't anything you attach to a landy. He's tried to baffle you with Bull**** to make it sound like a complicated job or part. In the hope you'd do the " errmm that sounds serious you'd better replace it then"..

There's a lot on the www on vehicle suspension setups using 'Torque reaction arms' not all vehicle manufactures call them Radius arms.
