Well I got my trailing arms. It took 5 hours with my brother helping.

 

5 hours for 4 bolts with Nuts. I'd have to say most of it was getting the bolt heads into a condition that would accept a wrench. Then getting them loose. Then getting the damn things out.

 

But before all that I went out and bought a REAL shop jack and proceeded to jack up the car and thats when I started to freak.

 

The jack pad began to crumble and the whole support it was attached to seemed a little too flexable. I called the dealer to get a price on one and they told me they don't have any in Canada as they are discontinued.

 

My parts book says the part goes up to 97' but I wonder if it was kept past 97' and on what cars since this is gonna be another yard trip.

I never jack there. Put your jack under the rocker lip and use a piece of wood between the jack and the rocker. This way you wont damage the rocker.

He's talking about the little pad in the middle of the monoleaf that is used for jacking the rear end of the vehicle up.
