Several members on here rebuild trailing arms and do incredible work. Check with Mike (Tracdogg2), Gary (gtr1999) and Van Steel. I hope I didn't forget anyone?
BTW, if you want to see what is involved, check out my webpage (I did my own rebuild). But a pro job is more than I did. I've had a look at Mike's work and he fully boxes the arms, powder coats, blueprints the spindle support and so on. Much more than what I did.

I exchanged my old rusty trailing arms for a set of Van Steel rebuilt arms. Your core refund will vary depending upon how rebuildable the cores are. Mine had 1 spindle that was out of spec and one arm was slightly bent but from the way the arms looked when I took them off I was suprised that they gave me any core refund!
The rebuilt arms are excellent quality and you would be hard pressed to tell them from new.
