I'm in need of 2 rebuildable rear trailing arms. mine has been sitting so long bearings are froze. tried everything. will probably ruin if torch them. anyone with parts or pieces would be appreciated. Mike

They can be torched out if the guy with the torch has the talent to do so and goes easy with them. I did it once years ago, but it's tricky and easy to mess up.

He quoted me $250.00 each. Thats for all new e brakes and springs. bearings and bushings and cleaned and repainted. The cheapest others I found were at least $400 so not too bad. Hoping to have car finished by Puyallup show

Thanks for information guys! I have been doing some stuff to the Blacray. I had thought when I got the motor stuff done I would venture back that way and put new bushings in the T arms.
For that price I think that maybe next winters mod and have both sides rebuilt.

Guys I have known Jim Stevens for 15 yrs. He is very knowledgable about corvettes and has a large inventory of parts. He also does rear ends, steering boxes, along with trailing arms. I am also pulling my arms to be rebuilt for the 2nd time by Jim.
