Perhaps one of you can point me in the right direction. I have a rusted DRIVERS side rear trailing arm suspension point. I have enclosed a pic of the triangle thing that needs replaced. The passenger side one was done some time ago by the PO. The body shop where I took it (Euro Classics – Dayton Ohio) indicated that perhaps the Dog Ears portion of this was also bad and should be replaced while he was at it.

I started to look for rust repair parts and can’t seem to find the parts I need. Perhaps the real technical names would help me locate these parts or can someone offer some help and warning as what to watch out for.

I will post some pictures of my car and its situation in the next few days.

Take a look on the Restoration Design site

They should have what you need.

I think the only repair piece for the inside mount is for the passenger side, and I don't know if you can flip it around and use it, as it is not a symmetrical piece. Your best bet is a donor car.


Oh and as I actually look at your picture I see it is the outer mounting point that you need. Start looking for a donor....

yep, you cant buy that piece. I have a donor car with a good drivers side one, but it might take a couple weeks to get it out...if you are interested... just be ready to find more rust underneath of it.... I have to replace the passenger side on my car, but I was able to put my hand IN it, and pull it off...yeah..

I have that part! Let me take a picture and post it here. Check back in about 10 minutes...

thx,

Jon

Here you go, let me know if you think this will work for you.

Jon I PMed you today for it looks like you have what I need.

Grasshopper, thanks for your response and I may need to take you up on your offer if once they start cutting and welding there is lots more rust.
