Hey gang,
I did find a thread or 2 about the rebel racing rear trailing arm bushings but never heard what holds the sleeve in the actual trailing arm...and of course no instructions were incl. I can call Clint on Monday of course but was hoping someone could pass along some install tips so I can wrap this up this weekend. Are these supposed to be JB welded like the fronts? I'm not optimistic JB would hold in this area? Any help appreciated! Andrew |

I also have Rebels rear trailing arm bushings waiting for time & attention. They told me to drill a couple holes on either side and SPOT WELD them in place. That is what I intend to do...Clint had mentioned that they tried to produce the diameter to meet the happy medium. When I say spot drill and spot weld - that was the trailing arm with the sleeve inserted, obviously. My concern was damaging the bearing material with the welding but they are saying it will not. Hmm???
