Re: Who sells the best (for the price) trailing arms?

[QUOTE=Shane;4269903]Scoti is spot on in his comment about the NASCAR arms being improved designs of the original.

so you wouldn't happen to have a link for these would you? I searched them and never came up with it, too bad I just spent $100 on the rebuild kit from CPP, but I may have a buyer for those, also will the trailing arm still bolt up?

Re: Who sells the best (for the price) trailing arms?

sorry to jack your thread, thanks Shane, I think for now I'll run with my rebuild kit as it's already on the way, but once I'm on the road I will look at them, in my favorites now, $300 is a little much by the time shipping and brokerage comes in etc, but looks like nice product for sure

Re: Who sells the best (for the price) trailing arms?

that isn't a stagger adjustment ... it's a track bar (Panhard bar) adjustment.

I drilled the rivet out of the OEM mount and set it in on mine with a bolt

Shane you should look closer........I know what a P/trac bar adjuster is and I know that there is a split in the trailing arm ( front to back) that has wedges that you can put in or take out to adjust the wedge (axle angle) so the cars get around the corner better..thats why sometimes it seems like they are crabbing on the straight aways... mine came with a pile of shims so I can tech. do a 4 wheel alignment.....

anybody used these? Cuz that's a great price for new arms.

...come to think of it, is that per arm or per set?

... wedge is not the same as stagger ... anywhoo, this stagger/wedge debate has nothing to do with the original posters request so I'm gonna move on now.

Just saw this on CL. Not mine, but cheaper than you were talking.

Re: Who sells the best (for the price) trailing arms?

those might be nice, looks like a complete kit.

...although I'm not seeing spring mounts. Does anybody know what those would run if I went this direction for trailing arms?
