Is it REALLY necessary ? I've done a couple of these but have yet to understand why. I have NEVER seen a trailing arm bent from anything otther than a hard collision. I see no way they could be twisting or flexing in any way in hard cornering. I'm curious if any of the hardcore racers have seen a true need for them. Anyone ever seen a ARM crack from use not rust ? Sure the consoles crack, the body cracks but the trailing arm ? Seems like unneccesary weight to me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
Talk amongst yourselves I'll check back in later (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) |

I drilled through the arms at places that will give me rigidity from a couple of different angles. I still need to weld and cut but these should work without excess weight.
