Lamont Welding & Fabrication in Antioch, CA (925) 754-7824 has a fixture to modify trailing arms. It holds the trailing arm in the correct stock alignment.
He mounts the trailing arm in the fixture, cuts it in half and welds in a 1/8" rectangular plate. The 1/8" plate helps to reduce twisting deformation by breaking the twisting length of the arm into two lengths instead of one long length. The charge is $80.00 per trailing arm. I just had my trailing arms reinforced. This reinforcing method is better than plating the arms with heavy sheet metal. |
