Thanks for all the advice. I talked to someone at Vollvette about rebiulding them yesterday before the other post and I think it even was Adam. Then had an e-mail from Vette Brakes offering help aswell (sounds like good service for us ). I have to take some pices today for insurance, I'll try to get one posted of the broken trailing arm here. Looks like I just need to pull both and get rebuilt. Do it right now and be done with it.

By the way, what other things should I need along with the trailing arm and the spring to bolt everything back together???
The absolute most important are VISA or Mastercard :yesnod:

Spring bolts---$12.95
Trailing Arms---$249.95

Looks like you are trying to post from your computer. You need to upload to a server first, then link the image....

BTW, welcome to the forum.. :cheers:
