Yeah, the "crabbing" on throttle on/off ... my car used to do that too. I remember my maiden voyage with all new rear end components. What a refreshing feeling to have the rear stay planted for the first time since I've owned the car.

Cost of Trailing Arms

I doubt the core is going to make that much a difference. I believe Trailing Arm cores are $60.00 each. I paid $795.00 but mine were new; not rebuilt!

Like a new car

She rides like a dream. Big difference. I feel like i'm in charge again and not the car having a mind of its own. I use to wander all over the highway. I did the VBP advance settings on my alignment. The .50 negative camber is not attractive. I went back to the alignment shop to at least a zero camber but he said I probably wouldn't like it. He said you need some negative camber. VBP states the same thing. I'm wondering about tire wear. It handles fine. I will give it some time and see.
