trailing arm reinforcement, I know its been talked about but.... Options

[736conver]

Ok as some of you might know I'm about to install the needle bearings in my trailing arms. So I am preparing the arms before they arrive so I'm ready. I come to find out that the passenger side is bent. Has a little bulge in it. No problem I will just head to my 30foot trailer full of parts, that no one wanted to buy, and get a different one. Same thing on 2 others. So thats three passenger side arms that are bent or tweeked. Just to make sure its not a fluke I check the driver side arms and find out I have two bad ones out of five. I am almost positive these all came from 4cyl.

So what can be done to avoid this. Everyone seems to think the reinforcement kits are useless or overkill. But the arms keep bending......

Thoughts..............ideas...........
