Van Steel... send 'em to Van Steel. You will be glad you did. 

You absolutely want to do both sides.  When mine need done I will do them myself, but its my profession.  And we have the press here at the school.

I recommend you either ship out the entire job, or pull the trailing arms and send them out.

It's off to the Chevy dealer tomorrow. The Mom and Pops around here don't want to mess with it.....funny, there's a theme there.

 Anyway, we'll see what's next after that.....

 I Agree with Kstyer,just pull off the whole trailing arm assembly,it's much easier ,just be careful ,you will probably have to cut the trailing arm bolt off with a reciprocating saw,make sure you keep track of how the spacer shims are set up.When you get ready to put everything back together they should go back in just the way they came out,you may have to buy new ones just make sure the thicknises are the same,Once you get the arms out and are waiting for the new or rebuilt ones,check out everything else back there,now will be a great time to replace those rusted brake lines ,cracked brake hoses,even if the hoses look good outside they can be plugging up on the inside.Like I said in my earlier post ,the car is going to be down for a while ,now is the time to repair or replace and clean and paint everything.If you have a pressure washer get under there and hit everything you can,it is worth the work.it's a lot easier to work under there ,when its clean,and you probably will be under there again  P.S. if you can take pictures of evry step of the disassembly,or draw sketches,sometimes by the time you get ready to put all this stuff back together you might forget the little things,and dont leave any thing out,a picture is worth a thousand words

Well, Just got the call. Going to replace both of the trailing arms. Total cost..$2500.00.  Glad I'll only will have to do this once, theoretically.  Brakes and lines were just redone. Chassis was steam cleaned and everything is pretty neat underneath so....

 Hopefully that'll be it until spring when I can take the doors off.

I'm doing both sides and having my....err...umm... THE rear end looked at also. This is my almost everyday driver so summer or winter it's gotta get done....

2500$..   are they going to give you a free jar of vaseline with that ?

Yeah...free prostate exam...colon probe...  the whole she-bang. That's the glory of livingi n Southern IL...everything is more expensive.... Kinda like living in DC without the traffic and politics...

 I think the rest of the state should secede from Chicago...
