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.

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.

it should come with bushings, if not, i would think you would be able to use the old ones, but i could be wrong.

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?

The GMPP trailing arms already come with the bushings pressed in

 

thanks BlackBird21 :cheers:

 

No prob, Im always here to lend some help or advice to anyone seeming I have been through hell and back on the Wbody cars. I can honestly say I have pretty much worked on every aspect of them.. And of course, I have the GMPP trailing arms and they are a pretty damn good bang for the buck

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.

Ok, so I just went to the GMPD website since usually they're the cheapest..

 

GM Part #: *12498649

Category: 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: $10.95

Non-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 :shrug:
