Are all rear trailing arms the same?
i converted my car to 5 lug but my driver rear trailing arms is bent, so can u use my stock trailing arm and put the 5 lug hub on my stock trailing arm? i know there is a diff part # for them but I want to know what if any diff. there are.

They are the same between RS/LS/GS/GSR/ITR 
Just unbolt the 5-lug hub and move things over.
I dont remember where the ABS sensor mounts though - that could be different - but the spindle bolts to the trailing arm, you should be able to swap those over if there is a difference. Most 94+ cars came with ABS though.

their a different part number because the bushing on the arm is a bit stiffer, when i did my 5lug conver the arm look very similar..seem like the actual position seemed abit off, by that i mean the offset might be off 1 or 2 try it, let us know.

it will work....I've done it on mine. The trailing arm will go on. The only thing you really have to watch out for is those 4 star or torx bolts aside from the spindle nut. If they're frozen on there, soak it with LOTSA PB before you even attempt to take them off. Reason being....if you strip the head on even ONE of them...you're fuct......
