Just like the topic says, I have a CTR setup. I think I tweaked the rear left trailing arm in an incident with a curb. Do you think that I could use my OEM 99 DX hatchback trailing arm and bolt the CTR hub/brake assembly to it?

 

The DX trailing arm you have is from a DX so it's drum brakes right?

 

bump

 

Pretty sure they are the same, CTR probably has stiffer bushings.

yes, DX are drum, CTR is disc. anyone else seem to think this'll work? my rear left wheel is tweaked out about a 3/4" further then my right wheel. this happened after my curb incident last month.

 

the trailing arms should be the same. the ctr might have stiffer bushing though.

 

f'n BUMP damnit =o\

 

just looking for a few more replies before i undergo this surgery on my trailing arms tommorrow... that transplant isn't entertaining. anyone else share the same opinion w/ the previous posters that it'll swap out fine??? or are there differences of opinion?

 

BUMP

 

ok... i've posted on here a lot w/ tech questions and what not... this is the first time i've made a technical thread and have gotten this small of a response.

lemme apologize in advance for being an impatient piece of ****, but i'm cruchin here for time and money... need to know whats going on... car needs to be running on THURSDAY the 15th.

why don't you do it and tell us?

i'd rather be the guy answering the questions than the guy asking them. if you have all the parts try it, and let us know....

 

i'm going to attempt it today, but if it doesn't work out, i'd like to know what trailing arms are compatible.

 

bump, that was me on sofaking @ my buddies house.

 

hey man. the trailing arms are th esame except the CTR trailign arm might have a slightly stiffer bushing thats all. but the actual trailing arms are the same. i talked to you on IM before about this and even gave you pix of how to swap out hub assemblies. its not hard at all. i had to do this when i did mt ITR 5 lug conversion. my ITR trailing arm was bent really bad so i used my civic trailing arm and just bolted up the ITR hub assembly and voila problem solved. i feel no difference between haveing a civic bushing on one side and a ITR bushing on the other.

go ahead and do it u will have no problems

 

Trailing arms should be the same. The actual brake itself is what changes between cars. That and bushings I suppose as others have said.

 

I swapped 99 civic Aerodeck spindles onto 93 Delsol trailing arms, that were identical to my 92 VX trailing arms, so I believe aside fromt he LCAs they are for the most part the same.

 

swapped it out, works great and fixed my tweaked problem... thanks nextelbuddy for the PM.
