	Trailing Arms & Accessories
		Replace your bent or rusty trailing arms with these tubular ones.
		Tubular trailing arms are made to fit the trailing arm clips on any Type-1 IRS torsion or our custom torsion.
		These new urethane trailing arm bushings prevent vertical motion at the pivot point which is greatly magnified at the end of the arm, altering any carefully planned alignment.

	RX-7 Owners Club - M2, Pettit, or Unobtanium Trailing arms....
		The trailing arms are more for clearance issues as Bacon stated...the Unobtanium is bushings only..if you have the arms you dont need those specific bushing because they would be replaced with the arms...
		Correction: the Unobtainium trailing arm bushing replaces the rubber bushing at the "eye" of the trailing arm, which is the forward mount.
		The trailing arm bolt passes through a pillow ball bushing in the lower control arm which is not replaceable with a standard bushing because of the required range of motion.

		You don't have to race it, but it does have to hold all the bits in place as the arms cool from welding.
		If you can't find a set to borrow, use stock arms known to be straight and make either the wheel bearing housing locator or the pivot tube locator adjustable in location to get the dimensions you're after.
		The arms will only be as good as the fixture is, so make it with care and thought.

	M-Coupe Rear Trailing Arms
		One of the main differences between the M-Coupe rear trailing arms and the earlier E30 arms is the factory addition of an "A-arm" type fortification between the two "legs" of the trailing arm.
		This was presumably done to strengthen the trailing arms so that they could cope with the much higher torque output of the U.S. and Euro spec M-Roadsters and M-Coupes.
		The Parts CD shows that the p/n's for the M Coupe eccentric and regular trailing arm bushings are the same as those for the E30 chassis.

	Install Rear Trailing Arms (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Installing aftermarket boxed rear trailing arms is an effective suspension mod that most car crafters can do themselves--it’s very common on rear-coil-sprung GM cars such as A- and G-bodies from 1964-1988.
		The arms themselves are different for the late-model A- and G-bodies than they are for the 1964-1972 A-body cars (Chevelles, Skylarks, and such), but the installation procedure is very similar.
		Our trailing arm mounting locations were grunge covered and scaly, so we used a piece of 100-grit sandpaper to remove the deposits that could complicate the new arms’ installation and possibly grind into the bushings.

	Eliminate Wheelhop - Car Craft (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The package includes two lower trailing arms, two upper trailing arms and two trailing arm mount braces, along with all the necessary bolts and bushings.
		Be sure to install the trailing arms so that the two holes (arrow) in the arms face rearward, toward the back bumper.
		The upper trailing arms should come right off, but if they are stubborn, have a buddy wiggle the rearend slightly (or slightly raise or lower the rearend with the floor jack), as it will loosen the arms.

	Lowrider Trailing Arms - Tech - Lowrider Magazine
		We're starting at the rear of the car, specifically at the trailing arms, because this is what you see when you're riding high in the streets or at the show.
		We believe that reinforced arms that are lacking in looks show that the welder either didn't know how to clean up the look or just didn't want to take the time.
		The correct way to do this is to have a gap between your flat bar and your trailing arm and fill the gap with a heavy, deep penetrating weld that not only digs deep into the base metals but will make grinding the weld down a lot easier, essentially leaving you with a cleaner look.

	Mitch's Chevelle Rear End Replacement - Reassembly (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Lubricate all polyurethane surfaces and slip the trailing arms up into the mount positions (note there are no left or right lower trailing arms; you just install them so the anti-sway bar mount holes are to the rear of the car).
		Once you are happy the trailing arm brace fits properly, drop some blue Loctite on the bolt threads and tighten down the nuts (torque to 70 foot-pounds).
		Since the forward mount is torqued in, the trailing arm should pivot on the forward mount, up and into the rear mount.

	OLDSmobility.com - The 1967 Oldsmobile Cutlass and 442 Resource - A-Body Interchangeability
		The rear trailing arms (or control arms) consist of four arms that connect the rearend to the frame, and the setup consists of two long and two short arms.
		The lower trailing arms for use with a sway bar are unique, and the usual characteristics is that the arm is boxed and gussetted.
		The upper arms vary, and there are two part numbers in the Chevrolet Parts Interchange Manual that separate 1964-67 and 1968-72 Chevelles and BOP A-Bodies.The lower arms are interchangeable (all years), and a car that did not have a sway bar can be modified to fit.

	EF Hybrid Suspension
		The DA trailing arms are a good choice because they have 9.5" disc brakes hanging off them (same size as your DX's front brakes) and they can be had for cheap.

		These trailing arms have fluted, greasable, graphite/polyurethane bushings, which are superior to the stock rubber bushings.
		Most Edelbrock trailing arms use polyurethane bushings on both ends, while part numbers 5274 and 5260 use a spherical ball assembly on the chassis end to eliminate bushing bind, allowing the suspension to move smoother for better control.
		Lower arms include mounting points for OE style sway bar (applies to A and G body only), and both styles are powder-coated gloss fl for a long lasting finish.

	RX-7 Owners Club - Can somebody explain the differences between Toe Links and Trailing Arms?
		The trailing link connects to the body at the front and the middle of the lower lateral suspension arm at the back.
		The stock trailing links are not adjstable, but it is possible to adjust the length of the M2 trailing links.
		My 18x10" CCW wheels fit fine with the stock trailing arms, but 17" rims with the same offset will rub the side of the trailing arm, so one remedy is to get the M2 trailing links.

	Modified Rear Subframe and Trailing Arms
		Note that this is not possible with the popular K-Mac rear eccentric rear trailing arm bushings, where an adjustment in either camber or toe will also effect the other measurement.
		Then the hole in the trailing arm mounting point is slotted.
		The effect is unlikely to be all that great, but it was enough to force the BMW Motorsport factory racecars to implement the camber and toe adjustments on the trailing arm, so that the pivot points stayed fixed.

		I'm in the process of installing GT type stiffening to the chassis, but am pausing at the trailing arms because I'm hesitant to add unsprung weight and am concerned about the heat.
		With all of the extra stiffness in the arms and chassis, he ripped the trailing arm inboard mounting ears off of a rust free car.
		As for the unsprung weight, remember that only 1/2 of the weight of the trailing arm and any metal you weld to it is unsprung.

		The two arms are articulated to the front structure, and move arcuately in plane parallel to the steering column.
		In one embodiment the arms are linked by a yoke (40), and traverse equal arcuate distances in opposite directions relative to one another.
		The vehicle operates using the principle of conservation of angular momentum, with the vehicle travelling a sinusoidal path and the operator leaning to the inside of the turn.

	M-Coupe trailing arms a direct replacement? - DTM Power
		I know they are physically the same as the E30 M3 ones (with some reinforcements), except for a few minor details such as the "ears" that the calipers mount to.
		My left rear trailing arm is bent a bit and I'm looking for a good replacement.
		what you can do is just get your new OE arm, and weld a reinforcement that resembles the MCoupe arm (that's what i'm doing to mine), which will yield the same advantage as using Mcoupe arms.

	Alfa Romeo Bulletin Board & Forums - 105/115 Comp Set.- Rear axle- trailing arms
		On that page- the fabricator really shortens the legth of the trailing arm, and this seems to be a bad thing.
		My thought would be to try to make the arm the same leght as the trunion arm would basically be- all the way to the centerline of the side bushings.
		We tried mounting the top arm from the left side of the axle and forward to the rear seat step where the transmission tunnel exits (quite a long link) and 'back to backed' it with the current set-up we run.
