The arms themselves are the same.
Differences were in bolt-on components: the brake calipers - sixes have bigger pistons; the hubs/rotors - sixes have 5 lugs, not 4 bolts. BTW, the stiffening on my refurbished trailing arms is lightweight and comes at no extra charge along with the straightening, powdercoating, new bearings, new bushings, and new pivot shafts.

Both are the same at the body. One of the -6 arms has a bracket on it to support one of the oil hoses. Get the -6's rebuilt and keep it original. |
