Mitchellman Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 I have a 1994 Buick Regal GS 2dr and replaced the trailing arms a couple years ago. At the time, only the U-Shaped ones were available. Does anyone know if there is a heavier duty solid round trailing arm for the 94 GS? Thank you!

GTP091 Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 The u shaped arms are oem. You can fit Gen 2 trailing arms and they are adjustable. Lateral arms are not a direct swap and need to have their length adjusted. Lots of info on this in the search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imp558 Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 (edited) Close, Gen 2 trailing arms are a ditect swap but are not adjustable and are typically square tubing. Second Gen lats are typically modified, the long one that's adjustable will fit a first gen but the other is the wrong length. GOT2BGM can modify a set of the adjustable ones to shorten them and coupled with an unmodified set you have fully adjustable lats.

Imp558 Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 Pm GOT2BGM and ask. If you look at the coilover thread I started there's lats and trailing arms on the right side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Ride Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 I did the rear coilover conversion and I run unmodified gen 2 lateral links. They widen the rear stance about an inch, but you can't use unmodified ones if you still have a monoleaf Imp558 and rich_e777 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imp558 Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 I'm doing the coilover conversion too but I want as much adjustment from everything as I can get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchellman Posted June 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 Besides having to mod the lateral links, would I have to mod anything else in the rear with the monoleaf, in order for them to bolt up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jman093 Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 Besides having to mod the lateral links, would I have to mod anything else in the rear with the monoleaf, in order for them to bolt up? No, but the inside bolt for the forward lateral link does not come out. It hits the gas tank when removing. GM put it in backwards from what they should have. Either the subframe or the gastank will have to be lowered to get it out. Once you do that and get it out, reinsert the bolt from the BACK, putting the NUT on the front when going back together, like GM should have done. Also remember to install all links/arms and leave the bolts loose until the car is on the ground. DO NOT tighten them with the suspension dropped. rich_e777 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
