Default 1971 Trailing Arm ?

Hi guys,
I am going to replace my rusted Trailing Arms this winter, is there a difference in quality betrween... say Ecklers and Mid-america and the ones I see on Ebay? I see quite a difference in price among them.

Thanks,
john.

You want trailing arms? Go no further than Van Steel - best in the business. Don't bother with the others. They can rebuild your old ones or best bet - offset trailing arms. They are bullet proof.
