The had a problem with the torque arm transferring noise in the birds. That's why the factory insulated them with rubber.

No one's perfect but they build a good product.

Like I said, I think it'll perform great, and the quality overall seems very high. The casting voids are minor, and the welding void isn't terrible, just a little less than what I'd expect. What really surprised me was what appeared to be a lazy approach to use an incorrect bolt with an extra washer and have no explanation or concern when asked about it. I'm going to replace the bolt with the correct size myself. Seems as though they would have done that before shipping. It's not accidental - the extra lock washer was deliberately put on there because of the longer shaft to make it fit. Problem is (though it really has no effect actually) that the extra lock washer obviously screws up the torque spec on the rear cover. Really dumb in my opinion when it's a soft bolt that probably costs 10 cents.

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.
