Topic: spindle bearing removal
in Forum: C3 Driveline Components

Hey Ray,
Check out Tylers Parts - he deals through ebay. He has supplied all the major vendors for a while and now works for himself only. I got NEW powder coated arms with all the goodies for $800 and he'll buy your cores!! You can go cheaper if you will accept recon'd arms - he stands by his product and does awesome work.
He also mentioned that he will work on better pricing for the club if you mention you're from C3VR. Real nice guy too.
Here's one of the arms in the car:
Here's a link for a rebuilt pair (I'm almost sure he'll do better on the price):
Good luck

Hey Luke... I was wondering what spec the bearings were set to.. I have read several posts with different opinions on the setting. Also I guess the price was for both sides. I'm considering replacing the complete trailing arm now vs the bearing assy...

They set to factory specs and gty the work!! Can't beat NEW trailing arms instead of reconditioned 25 to 35 year old repainted steel!! And you're correct - the price is for both. Driving with the new arms in now! Smooooth!!
Ask for Jim and tell him I referred you and that you're a member of c3vr. He'll hook you up! Nice guy too.

Thanks Luke... Looks like the ad say's the trailing arms rebuilt for $800 have some pitting... curious...were yours powder coated? Looks like he will credit $300 for my old ones..? Of couse that means $80 shipping them to him...

Luke and everyone .... thanks for the info last week... I have the bearing assemblies out, and it was not a difficult job at all. The driver side is shot... ground up metal parts coming out. Pass seems OK but will replace it also... I see what you mean about removing the trailing arms... they don't look bad at all, and I haven't decided if I will replace them. I will call Jim Monday about the bearing assemblies, as he said he can work either way...
New brake lines and universal joints to replace too..
