Yep, VanSteel is THE place. Art is the most customer service oriented business owner I've ever had the pleasure of dealing with.

I had good luck with Bairs, they even sent my replacements before I sent my cores, so I was only down one weekend. Great company to work with, good customer service. Joe

For the 10 years I had the car after I put them in, they were absolutely perfect. All of my suspension parts on the pace car were from Vansteel and it rode perfect!

I see this is a very old thread. Dan now runs the business (Art's son) and he, just like his Dad have always been a pleasure to deal with. I can't recommend them more highly.

I am in the process of repairing my Trailing arms myself . Saw Gary's page on the net , good article. I just ordered a complete kit for rebuilding the t/a from Van Steele. There kit has all the parts required .Also bought the offset t/a with coil overs. After taking everything apart found that it was easier to make the jump to coil overs. All the rubber bushings and other parts where pretty much toast.
