trailing arm Question
HI.I need some help.I bought a kit from tokico for my car.I brought it to the shop to get installed.The fronts went tin ok.The rear is the problem.Can the bolts seas in the trailing arm and not be able to be removed.I have spoke and brought my car to this shop before and they haven't done me wrong.They say that I need new trailing arms becuse of the way they have to get them out.They told me that the flange bolt thay connects the lower arm to the trailing arm is broke.Do you really need to get a whole trailing arm.Is that how this works.Very disapointed in a simple job turning into a bad time.
You can sawzall that bushing out w/o too much damage to either the trailing arm or lower control arm, cheapest way would be jsut to replace that one bushings by pressing the old out new one in and getting a new honda bolt, another option is that stock lower control arms cost about $72ea and the bolt is another $2.50
Got about the same problem today. I have box type lca (crx 1988) and my bolt broke in the middle of the shock. Me and my dad are gonna warm it tomorow... probably gonna try to cut the shock, then try to get the rest of the bolt out... An easy way would be to cut the arm and put a new one, but that is costly
