Yes the torque arm keeps pinion angle. There are other alternative but you would have to get rid of what you have already

A stock torque arm is fine if you do not alter the height or too much if a tire size.

i still say get an aftermarket torque arm to properly set pinion angle on a lowered car. yes it will be close on a stocker. but to get it RIGHT and have no D/S shake or wheel hop get an adjustable aftermarket T/A.
