Re: Adjustable rear trailing arms how-to
Hey guys sorry for the late response. i will show some pics of what i did, these i took after the fact to show you so bear with me.
As for the angle of the arms, i traced them on white borad. i then took a cheap angle finder and made the same angle that the trailing arms were. once i found this i turned it 90 degrees and that created my angle that i had to cut out to bend my arms too. mathematics is what it is. add and subtract. for the end piece, you are really gonna have to bear with me, i took my threaded rod and welded square stock to it in a cross fashion ( + ), then drilled coresponding holes in arms to then plug weld the stock too. this creates a stronger area than just welding it to the end. as for the length i will find out and let you know. If ther are any more questions just ask.
