want a 94 850 rear trailing arm in the UK 850

Where from and roughly how much? I am based in the Midlands and yesterday found a good inch of play on the drivers side rear wheel. The rear axel link (looks like a ball joint that bolts underneath the car) is totally shot, resulting in a loud knoking when driving.
Im assuming i need a complete trailing arm!

Also any idea how long it should take to change and any potential pit falls when doing this particular job?

    I replaced the one on my 94' 850 2 weeks ago .
    bought it from Groton online.
    I sent out the message below to someone else who had to replace one.


    Yes, you'll find getting the hard rubber around the link out is the toughest part of the job.
    Wouldn't hurt to order yourself some new bolts too.
    The back bolt is pressed in from the top and banging on the loosened nut underneath will pop it out.
    I took a long drill bit and made some holes in the rubber (don't drill into the frame.
    When I took out the bolt ,the bushing fell out.
    used a map gas torch (or propane if you have that ) and had to melt the rubber housing. You can use an open pipe wrench and the top knuckle of the wrench will fit into the arm link. Use this to pull on the link as you melt it and the part should come out clean.
    When you put the new arm in don't bang on the metal arm to get it into the sleeve. Hit both sides of the rubber housing ,a little bit on each side until it is set in place.

      Thanks for that, Groton web site says they will not post this to the UK so looks like im reduced to calling around the various "euro part" companies, but at this moment in time i cant find any that list the part on the web?
