2001 Suburban Trailing Arm Replacement - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I've got a 2001 Suburban with 235K miles on it, and would like to replace the rear suspension trailing arms. Is this a pretty straightforward job? I'll try to find a replacement set of arms vice trying to replace bushing in the originals .... it's just much less hassle.

How hard is this job? I've done this work on a Chevy F body. The Suburban can't be much different. Right?

Thanks!

It is a simple very basic type thing. No need to be nervous about it.

Thanks hugger6933 ..... swapped them out today without any problems. It was actually slightly easier than my '99 Camaro.
