Re: rear trailing arm bushing

When you say trailing arm, the bushings can be found at most part vendors (ie LMC, Classicparts etc). They are pressed on until the flange is in contact with side of trailing arm.

Now when you say rear trailing arm bushing, you may referring to the tracking or sway bar behind the rear end. If so these bushings can be found at those and other locations mentioned also...

Re: rear trailing arm bushing

I bought a set of Prothane ones from speedway and they came in the box put together and the taper was to the outside. I popped them apart and installed the same way. I wasn't sure but just did it that way. If I understand your question. You mean the big bushing at the front of the trailing arms ?

Re: rear trailing arm bushing

I mean on the ring that snaps on the outside of the bushing after you push the bushing in. And I put the rings to the outside towards frame, if that makes sense.

I didn't take any pics. I haven't noticed any problems with it that way. I put the bolts pointing out too. Nuts towards the frame
