rear trailing arms

Post by dridgy »

I was cleaning up my bus and wire brushed the rear trailing arm to find that holes were appearing.

Basicly the arm had rotted through, does anyone know where i can get a decent pair from, and how hard are they to replace.

Thanks

You'll also need the bolts as your outer one will be siezed solid and will need cutting off.
Probably means you'll need a couple of new bushes also.
