Nice! Who did the work? I've got one of mine out right now, and can't wait to get it back together. Not having my car to drive this time of year is KILLING ME!!!

Default Trailing Arm repair

Im not sure of the rules for posting whom did the work, but I can say I was very happy with the job.

I first shipped my parts to him, he took them apart and inspected everything and made recommendations as what it needed.

the basic rebuild was $249. per side includes front bushing, all emerg brake parts, timken bearings, seals, new backing plate.

if any of your parts are out of spec he will advise before doing anything else - like spindle out of spec or arms or bearing housing etc etc.

I ended up buying 2 new arms - since mine had been welded on and 1 new spindle since it was out of spec.

any way terrific job and great service - http://www.vetterx.com/sales.shtml
