One step forward, two back. The frustrations are setting in ... OK, I am ready to finally install my narrowed trailing arms. Removing the old arm and I come across this: The pivot bolt seemed tight, but maybe not tight enough. I have read that they tend to want to back-off over time. There was only one washer on the outer face of the outer bushing, I have read there should have been two. To me, it looks like the arm was orbiting during operation. Today I will take a look at the other side. Need some advice on a fix. All I can imagine is to have a welder come over and try to build-up material around the nub, clean it up and run a flat washer against it, or have a new one welded in. There are IRS conversion brackets that come with a similar fitting welded on. The locating of the fitting would have to be exact so the pivot bolt would bolt in at the proper angle. Not sure who could pull off such work. Greg at Vintage perhaps?
Thanks in advance,
Brian in the early throws of regret
