had an accident and need help replacing the whole right rear end (sus.) needed to know if this is something that i can do myself, heard that it was easy.....has anyone done this befor? my biggest area of concern is gettin the shock out and spring never done it befor. all suggestions are greatly appreciated !!!!!!

 

you need to replace the entire thing or just the spring/shock?? two bolts for brake line. one bolt for LCA. two bolts in the trunk area that holds up the shock. couple bolts under the body that holds up the trailing arm i think.. and you gotta take out the cable too.. camber kit too.. am i missing anything else anyone??

 

Did it yesterday.. Peice of cake.. I've done it about 20 times though... If you're replacing the whole trailing arm that kinda sucks becuase you gotta deal with the ebrake cable but if you're just replacing little bits and peices it should be cool... Theres only about 7 bolts that hold the whole thing on.. relatively simple task

 

so did i name all the right bolts

 

kinda sorta.. Its 2 NUTS in the trunk.. Theres 2) 14 mm bolts that go into the LCA.. One bolts to the frame of the car and the other one goes through the strut. Then theres the 2 17mm bolts that hold the trailing arm upright then the last 14 mm at the end of the trailing arm that you used to adjust the alignment.. Then the 2 14's that are up top (the ones you change if doing the camber kit trick and last but not least th 2 12's that hold the ebrake cable in place... I think thats it

 

alright man so let us know how you did
