Hello everyone. Tearing apart the whole rear of the car.
Have a new subframe to put in from Garagistic with toe/camber adjustments and all new subframe, diff, and RTA bushings, and have a used GC setup from a forum member on here.
Also have an extra set of weathered rear trailing arms that i am looking to rebuild.
The plan is to put everything together outside the car, remove the existing assembly as a single piece and then lift in the entire new assembly.
I've never sand/media blasted before and am looking for some advice. My trailing arms that I want to rebuild currently have the hubs attached and bearings pressed in. I was thinking I would remove the rear hubs, but leave the bearings and bushings in while blasting. I would also prime and paint with the old bushings/bearings installed. Finally after they looked presentable i would press out the old and put in the new. Does this seem like the right way to go?
My rational behind leaving the bearings and bushings in while prepping and painting is to keep the machined surfaces as untouched as possible, but if there is a better way to go about this, please don't hesitate to enlighten me!
