Performance trailing arm bushings? 120-130

posted by  someone claiming to be Rockmonton on  Fri Aug 13 17:10 CST 2010 [RELATED]

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone knew of anything that existed for the late style wagon trailing arms? if so, how much?

otherwise, i'm probably just goign to make aluminum solid ones.

This is for where the axle housing mounts to the trailing arms.

RockMon;

Beware...solid alu bushing replacements will transfer a lot more vibrations to the body...you might find this bothersome and unacceptable...I'm sure OE bushings are still available, but if you wanted to make alu replacements, I'd still leave a provision for a 1/4" sheet neoprene for vibe isolation...

...have you gotten the old bolts out yet?...that is another well known galvanic corrosion point on 122s...use Trick 17 as last resort (see: http://www.sw-em.com/Trick%2017.htm )

Cheers

hah, even after trying to use that trick, applying heat, etc. i still couldn't get the bolts out. i ended up putting the old bushing in a press and couldn't press it out.

Canadian winters i'm sure didn't help much.

The reason i ask, is because i'm putting in a ford 8.8 diff, along with some other goodies.
