Ok, so thanks to you guys I've got two trailing arms lying on my garage floor. I figure since I've got them out and am installing the needle bearings and 911 e-brake, I might as well get the whole dealio powdercoated.
What I'm wondering is besides threads and bearing surfaces, the usual suspects, are there other places to mask off? I'm thinking if I powdercoat the surfaces of the alignment shim mount, that's going to throw things off, right? So should I just clean that piece up and not coat it, or just go ahead and do it and adjust with shims afterwards. No matter what, even if I put it back together with just new bushings, I'm going to have to mess around with the shims, right? Thanks for any help, Adam |

do not powercoat the inside of the trailing arm that the tube goes into...in fact, can you wait to coat them until I send you the tubes???
I can UPS them out tommorow (home today, ate something that didn't like me as much as I liked it, LOL) |
