So I noticed while removing my left rear shock that my trailing arm likes to move around a lot. That explains the clunk I heard on my test drive.

I was going to purchase the 914rubber kit, but looks like they are oos on the SS pins. Can I just use the rubber bushings with my current pin barring it has not gotten worn out from current bushing failure?

OR if I'm going that route should I get the RD ones, just the bushings.

I looked at the elephant kit, but I hate paying for extra tools I don't need.

Lastly,

Move brake caliper and lines off arm.
Unbolt drive shaft from trans flange.
Remove rotor
Unbolt shock.
Remove trailing arm bracket and pin.

That's it to get it out right?

Yes the stainkess is an overkill, should have more in stick shortly.

We held iff as stainless spiked. Now pricing is more, just not as much as it was.

As far as reusing the OEM, that's fine if yours are intact without punholes. They let water in and rust from the inside out. You will know pretty quickly if you have this issue. If not they can be reused no problem.
