What should be ensured about the mounting of the torque arm?

The mounting of the torque arm is a critical aspect of vehicle safety and performance. Ensuring that it is mounted securely and without damage is essential because the torque arm plays a significant role in maintaining proper alignment and stability of the suspension system. A securely mounted torque arm helps to absorb and distribute forces during driving, which in turn minimizes wear and tear on other components of the vehicle.

If the torque arm is damaged or not securely mounted, it can lead to improper handling, increased stress on other parts, and potentially result in catastrophic failures while driving. Therefore, verifying that the torque arm is intact and properly secured is a crucial step in the pre-trip inspection process. This focus on security and integrity helps ensure the safety of the vehicle and those on the road.
