Question: All inclusive kit

[Trlloyd]

Looking for a good quality kit which will have all the parts I will need to rebuild my trailing arms. I have many catalogs with various prices, but I don't know if one bushing is better than another. I am going to use rubber bushings.


Any suggestions?

I have looked at numerous catalogs; however, I do not know where they get their parts from or the quality. I know many times the different vendors sell the same product but put their pricing and part number on it. I have received parts from vendor A still packaged in vendor B's wrapping.

To me, rebuilding a trailing arm includes redoing the bearings amongst other tasks. The tools and expertise required to get it right is beyond what most hobbyists will want to undertake at home. I'd send them out to a professional and as already recommended, Gary GTR1999 is top of the list.

They have been around forever. They have to be doing something right.

Vette Brakes has made in the USA parts and made in other places. Buy the USA parts. If the catalog does not say call them and they will gladly give you what you want to know.

Rebuilding the trailing arms (including bearings and front bushings) IS NOT a do-it-yourself job; it requires specialized measuring and expensive bearing setup tools and special tools for compression and flaring of the the bushing sleeve and retainers; send them out to Gary (GTR1999) or to Bair's in Linesville, Pennsylvania.
