You can send the trailing arm to bairs in pa. They do great work and have a special box for shipping- that is if you want to do the work yourself.

I don't mind doing arms and rear bearings, it's all the prep and paint work that takes the time.

I agree, you could run them up there in a couple of hours. Pretty convenient for you. Just off of 295 at exit 37. West on Mechanicsville Turnpike (Route 360) about a block and exit right to the light.

Good luck... GUSTO
