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???

Tony [/quote] as long as your bearing is not between your ground and the spot your welding it will be ok...if the bearing is in between your ground and weld it will arc the bearing and cause pitting on the surfaces of the bearing and it will soon fail Mike (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
