Default are drums trailing arm the same as rear disc?

just the trailing arm itself and not the brake components. Are they the same? the trailing arm i have from an integra i think are bent, but i still have my old trailing arm. Would i be able to swap out the brake parts to it? thanks

no not really...

the trailing arms that are equipped with drums don't have the mounting point for the calipers...

you will need to make a plate that you can attach to where the drum mounts to the trailing arm...to attach the caliper on to

I believe the are the same, the reason I say this is because you don't need the trailing arm to put disc on a car with drums, it may be easier but it is not nessecary to have the trailing arms.

search drums to disc, if you find that you can put disc brakes on a car with drums without the trailing arm then you will know for sure
