dohc v6 Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 Yeah, alot of shit for these cars are coming off newer cars. If you go to wbodystore.com you can find a set of laeral link arms, you need 4 you get 2 for 99, from them. If you want tubular trailing arms you can get Gmpd ones but I dont know the number.

Venom Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 There are plenty of options, the most cost effective is the GMPP ones.

Rdrckt_92 Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 I've got the Gm Tubular trailing arms on mine, iirc they were fairy cheap and they do the job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZacksZ34 Posted June 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 okay i decided to go with the tbular arms! how hard are they to change???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venom Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 They are just bolted on with two bolts w/nuts. The hardest part is breaking them loose and getting the bolt out of the hangers. Make sure two hit them at least once a day with PB blaster or something a few days before you change them, makes it a little easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BXX Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 The GMPP trailing arms already come with the bushings pressed in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mra32 Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Please don't reuse 16 year old bushings when you are trying to upgrade for peformance. I'm willing to bet that you'd see more gains from new bushings than new trailing arms. I'm pretty sure you can get polyurethane bushings for these. someone chime in plz?

Venom Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Just an FYI, Summit Racing is probably the cheapest place around online to buy from unless you go to your local GM dealership and order them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GutlessSupreme Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Ok, so I just went to the GMPD website since usually they're the cheapest.. GM Part #: *12498649Category: All Description: PERFORMANCE REAR TRAILING ARM KIT Pack Qty: 1 Unit Price: $37.44 Total Quantity Ordered: 1 Ext. Price: $37.44 YOU SAVE: $13.99 Core Charge: $0.00 S&H Approx: $9.95 Total: $47.39 Ok so that's the first line. Then below that... Processing & Handling: $10.95Non-NC Residents Total: $58.34 Sales Tax (NC Only): $2.53 NC Residents Total: $60.87 So they're charging for shipping and handling twice? I've never seen that before.. and I've had quite a few orders through them. edit: ok, so I just added a transmission mount to the cart and that extra $10.95 charge is gone at the bottom (but there's still $7.23 listed for the shipping next to the mount in addition to the $9.95 for the arms, of course). I was gonna say maybe they're charging extra for just single special order items, but both the tranny mount and the arms are. The tranny mount alone in the cart doesn't have the extra charge. Maybe there's a minimum for shipping on larger items now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
