Trailing arm help?...

Hello again I just removed my tailing arms on my '68 C-10 and found quite a bit of rotten rust buildup at about the middle of the arms. It looks like theres some sort of bushing in between the rivets too. they look shot as well. Any help on how to repair would be great.

Re: Trailing arm help?...

I had the same problem with mine when I removed them last weekend. There was rust in between the two parts that was starting to actually bend them and push the rivets out. I didn't even consider fixing them so I got a good replacement set.

It seems to me that if they can be fixed it would be a lot of work. Doesn't seem worth it to me.
