Default Muskegon Brake?

Any experiences with their rebuilt trailing arm assemblies?

Not the arms, but I've bought their sleeved calipers and have been satisfied with them. I've also have one of their HD rear end covers.

I haven't had any dealings with them but they have a good reputation on the forum. I'd recommend comparison shopping at Van Steel. I bought a pair of rebuilt TAs from them and they look like new. I think the prices might be a bit better also.

I bought my calipers from them 4 years ago and haven't had a problem.
Top notch vendor.

I don't know about their t-arms. I used Van-Steel to rebuild mine.
I was impressed. They called me and discussed the problems they found and how much it would cost to fix. They were so nice when I got them back I almost hung them up as art instead of putting them back on my '72.

I've had 2 sets of original calipers rebuilt and sleeved by Muskegon. Good service and pretty quick turnaround. I'd try them on any of their services.

We build them for most of the vendors out there. There are only a few vendors that I don't build for.

Ask a simple question, who builds there TA`s? I do know Muskegon Brake has been around for several years and not primarily as a Vette supplier, but for all makes and models.
