Anyone ever break a Spohn Torque Arm?
Well I just did today!
First gear drop but was turning, it was VIOLENT, thought I did more damage, but basically the rear bracket that bolts to the diff sheared off at the front bolts, top and bottom. Going to weld it up tomorrow so I can get it home, then going to tig weld a brand new rear bracket out of 1/4" steel.
I will post pics later.

Is it possible the 4 individual bolts used on the Moser to mount the torque arm came loose? This is a well known problem with the Moser 12-bolts. For example, BMR specifically warns against this problem with the Moser:
IMPORTANT NOTICE TO MOSER 12 BOLT USERS: This product is only warrantable on rear axles that utilize the factory style "through bolts" to connect the torque arm to the rear end. Moser 12 bolt rear ends utilize a threaded bolt hole that has been proven to have bolt retention issues when used with aftermarket torque arms. If you have this particular rear axle, understand this warranty disclaimer and still wish to use this product, keep in mind that lock washers, or Loctite brand thread sealants are not substitutes for periodic bolt inspection.
