Crazy K Posted June 17, 2012 Report Posted June 17, 2012 Mine as well. Random/slightly on topic (okay, not really, but whatever) : Anyone ever thought about figuring out poly bushings for the Dorman arms? I think BXX did just that. Quote
BXX Posted June 17, 2012 Report Posted June 17, 2012 I think BXX did just that. Yup. I still have some new ones in my garage. Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk 2 Quote
wickedbuick Posted June 17, 2012 Author Report Posted June 17, 2012 Well well well! I was looking into that this whole past week!! How much for some with poly installed or are you willing to give up your secret? lol Quote
BXX Posted June 17, 2012 Report Posted June 17, 2012 Well well well! I was looking into that this whole past week!! How much for some with poly installed or are you willing to give up your secret? lol Using gen2 arms requires rear coilovers. There are no poly bushings for gen 1 arms.

wickedbuick Posted June 18, 2012 Author Report Posted June 18, 2012 buuut the dorman trailing arms should fit a first gen I thought, in stock form. Is it those arms you converted to poly? Quote

I put polys in mine too, requires some muscle or take to a shop to press out the stock. I think you need coil overs because gen 2 arms are longer than stock. Quote
BXX Posted June 18, 2012 Report Posted June 18, 2012 I already stated gen2 dorman arms wont fit a gen 1 unless you run coilpvers. They are longer arms. Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk 2 Quote
topless94style2 Posted June 18, 2012 Report Posted June 18, 2012 Anyone tried these? http://www.wbodystore.com/suspension/62-oversized-adjustable-lateral-arms-.html Quote
wickedbuick Posted June 18, 2012 Author Report Posted June 18, 2012 Hmm I must have missed that part lol I thought all the TRAILING arms were the same length and it was the lateral arms that differed. Man, I gotta get off this crack.... Quote
BXX Posted June 18, 2012 Report Posted June 18, 2012 Anyone tried these? http://www.wbodystore.com/suspension/62-oversized-adjustable-lateral-arms-.html Those are complete junk. Swagged threaded rod should never ever be used on a street car, let alone with that kind of length. That stuff is meant to take load forces straight on, i.e. a 4 link setup on a rwd car, and its onlt suitable for low power cars. Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk 2 Quote
rich17 Posted June 20, 2012 Report Posted June 20, 2012 where did you hear that trailing arms are different lengths? Quote

Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk 2 I kinda figured he meant lateral arms but I made this thread about the trailing arms. I would like to get these cause they are a good deal for a "stock replacement" but also wondered if poly bushings would fit in these and what would be the part number for that Quote
intern8tion9l Posted June 25, 2012 Report Posted June 25, 2012 That is super Uber nice looking rear suspension with new sway bar hangers? where did you get the new hangers? Looks great, by the way! haven't been on in a bit. those actually aren't new, everything is just sanded down and repainted Quote
