I'm currently in the process of redoing my rear suspension. New bushings, wheel bearings, etc. Yesterday I pressed out the trailing arm bushings and found a bit of a surprise. The shaft that runs inside of the trailing arm, that the bushings are around is rusty! And I'm talking really rusty.
It looks like some water must have got trapped between the bushing and rusted the shaft. The end of it is swollen, and when tapped, it just flakes apart. So, I was hoping to get this all back together this weekend, but thats not looking too likely. Does anybody have a couple of spare shafts laying around? I have no idea what they're worth, but I'm hoping to get some fairly quickly. Can anybody help me out? I need two, as they're both rusted.
If my camera was working, I'd take some pics, because this seems like a pretty bizare thing to happen.
