    measurements for Arms

    Does anyone have the technical dimensions for the rear trailing arms? I need to check to see if they are square and I have no point of reference, usually the factory repair manual will have this information, but I can not find a full copy online.

    Without a custom built jig and the measurements it would have for new arms, the best way to tell if the trailing arms are bent is to put them on the car and check the alignment of the rear wheels.

      Well if the mount on the subframe is bent or which side or both side is bent.

        Bends in the mounts for the trailing arm bushings are pretty obvious and have little effect on rear wheel alignments. A bent rear subframe is a different matter and may not be obvious.
