My '68 C/10 Stepside got clipped on the rear quarter in a collision last week. I'm thinking my OEM trailing arms may be bent.
Tracking bar or Panhard bar is bent. 12 - Bolt differential grinds like gravel when in gear. Broken axle, maybe? Rear wheel is tweaked, And original paint [RH] step fender is crushed.
Looking at the LMC catalog, they have stock type stamped Control Arms for $269 each. Also, I see some Tubular Tracking Arms for $600 a pair.
Are the tubular ones any better? Can the existing ones be straightened out?
