Has anyone (Brad?) ever cut a trailing arm apart? I'm wondering if there are any additional structural elements inside, or are they basically two U sections welded together to form a rectangular cross section, and hollow inside. I'm not talking about the pivot point/bushing or the bearing/hub areas, but the section between them.
Thanks, Andy |
