bent trailing arm
was having some clearance issues on drivers side rear tire and edge of fender opening,figured it was from running larger tires and from lowering it,after some reading on here rear gets pushed towards pass. side. after some beating and banging took for ride and still some rubbing and alot of vibration and noise,checked trans mount and u joints then decided to hold brake and give a little gas(power packing as we call it) saw side of bed buckle and i stopped and found the problem. knew arms needed replaced before but definitely now.sorry for novel just this has been bugging me

Re: bent trailing arm
cpp makes a tubular trailing arm if you cant find a decent original replacement. i think they are only sold in sets, but i imagine the other looks pretty bad too.

 , that you even tried to get by with those arms, in their rusty condition?Guess we all have to admit we've taken unnecessary chances--just to hurry and get it on the road. Yep, me too, altho' I hate to admit it! I'd say you were lucky that it destructed when you "packed" it, rather than later while running at highway speeds. Safety, safety, safety! Sam |

Re: bent trailing arm
You can use the drive shaft too. Just get ahold of Captain Fab here on the site for the bracket.
