Just a few basic questions:
1) Do the rubber bushings I circled need to be changed? None are cracked or damaged, but are they just spacers or do they affect how tightly the car handles? 2) Plan on replacing shocks with Bilstein shocks. Can I reuse the top hardware shown or must I acquire new parts? If so, where would one purchase said parts? 3) Is there a recommendation for a rear trailing arm rebuilder in the San Diego area? I need new rubber bushings, new bearings, and my hubs pressed back in. I know many do it themselves, but after reading some of the recent posts I'm a bit intimidated.

Prototype version 2 will be done in the next few weeks. They need to be test fitted at that point before we go forward on the production run. I believe we have it dialed in at this point and the prototypes will be great. We most likely will have a few extra that Mark may be persuaded to let go for R&D on a car or 2

Going to be blasting and painting my trailing arms this weekend to start reassembly. Will be installing your hard bushings and SS pivot shafts but wondering if it would be worth waiting for the rubber version. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) |
