Ahh, I wish it was that simple. I don't mean to knock Moser altogether as these torque arms will make any gear noise louder but my experience along with many others warrants an inspection. Why would their housing be louder than the stocker, even with aftermarket gears? The torque arm only has rubber in the front mount and the rubber serves to allow the torque arm to slide in/out as it moves with the rear just like the drive shaft. I’m sure it helps some with noise but it’s not like it’s rubber mounted at the rear, that would help a lot but wouldn't work too well. :p
Anyway, it’ll probly be ok but I’m picky and if its mine I would check it out for gear set up and cleanliness as I have had and heard about such problems. Again, not knocking Moser altogether, I like Moser parts, I've sent them plenty of money even after I bought my 12 bolt but that's alot of money out if there is a problem.
