Drove over to Bend this morning to pick up my car. Borrowed a trailing arm from my v8 car so I could actually roll it on the trailer. Don't worry Jim it will be back on by monday.
Jonathan was very cool & had my car on the lift already pulling my old trailing arm. So we just threw the loaner on there. Put my spare 6" fuch on there. The trailing arm looks to me to be in the right position. I'll have to do some measuring to be sure. No problems on the way home (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Attached thumbnail(s)

Okay so here are some pics. 1st of the trailing arm that buckled. Next is the damage to the front flare. The larger long crease near the top & the smaller one towards the door. After that we move to the back & the real damage. The rear corner is obviously bent in & down a bit. There are no crease or buckles on the inner fender in the heel well or in the trunk. Where the bigger dent is on the flare is where it buckles down just a bit.
My plan is to slowly press the rear corner back out to where it should be. I think my port-a-power from a solid spot should get that okay. Once that is out & close I will start to work on the dents. Although I may work those a little as I am pushing the rear out. I will still have the finish work done by a pro. My plan is to get it better so I can make WCR this month. I got back home with my car today to find my new trailing arm in a box on my deck. Huge thanks to Dave (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) for getting that out to me. I'll be cleaning it up & prepping it for powder coat. Then replacing the bearing & races for the stub axle. I'll see if the roller bearing setup McMark installed for my in the front of the trailing arm is okay. If so I will transfer that from my bent one. Anyway more to come. I will be pulling my suspension front & rear. Well not the drivers rear. No problem there. I am pulling the from too as I have turbo tie rods to install as well as give me more room to work ont he passenger front flare. Attached thumbnail(s)

If I had a hand full of tools I would bump that for you at the WCR. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
Port-o-power set, some scrap 2x4 pieces, assorted hammer and dolly's, grinder to remove some paint, shrinking disk, some bomb can primer to get you home... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) Oh! and my bulls eye picks. |

Although I'd like to get it pushed back out enough to get my new bumper on it (thanks Mark). Should I attempt that Rick? I think I can push that corner out without to much trouble. I suppose I can attach the bumper to the one side & zip tie the other to get me down there (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |

Without a point of failure - you're certain to do greater damage. We salute you're courage to get back "up on the horse". Stay with it and best wishes. |

Jamie, if Mark is going down your way, maybe I can give him the Fuchs wheels to bring down with him.

Just be careful where you anchor the port-o-power. That area should push easy. I would suggest using the trailing arm as an anchor point and a block of wood on the sheet metal. The back side of the door jamb as an anchor point could prove counter productive but use your best judgment. |

I'm trailering mine down and will have a good assortment of tools including a floor jack & jackstands. Let me know if you need me to bring anything specific.
