...one trailing arm semi-done.

The IDs of the trailing arm pivot bores were out-of-round and not in line.....big surprise, eh?

The short side was about .015 O/R.....apparently due to the welding adjacent to that side. Get out the die grinder and it's many useful attachments, calipers, and poke & hope. Got it "PFCE" and tapped it thru till it hit the far side....then got out the BFH & drove it home. Sealed it all up with etch primer....it ain't going nowhere. The bearings dropped in..after more primer. Piece of cake.

I hope someone gives you a case of Dr. Seuss colored paint, and you end up with multi-colored stripes... oh, and that one cheap yellow arm..



I would not paint it with my cash
But any color with your stash
I will not spend to paint my car
I will not pay... JP I aer

Does this mean we should start a "Send your extra cans of paint to J P" thread?

Looks good

I think I am going to have my A-Arms and trailing arms powder coated. Looks good.

Hey!

I'm gonna go out in my garage and see if that halfa gallon of Saturn Yellow is still there.....

If it aint, I got a good idea who took it.

If they did take it, they probably thought no one would look under their car.....

So this make it easier to find your car when ya roll it?

I'd put black stripes on those suckas......Really make them stand out....

You have been hanging around with the Bradpac.

Leaving Meullers bearings out of the total, I have practially no money, but a BUNCH of work in the A arms and trailing arms. I also have spares for all....cause they are "expendables". Rattle can wurks for me.

On another note:
I pulled my rear hubs & wheel bearings. 2 different manf. wheel brgs...long story.....anyhew, one fell apart as usual
while driving out the hub. The other stayed intact. The FAG bearing looks like a winner and the SKF the looser. So, I fergit where I got the FAG bearing (try to control yourself, Miles). I need 2 new ones, any clues? Also need .5 in longer studs (this is gonna be too much for Miles)
