H2 Bulletproof Trailing Arms...

[whitehumh2]

I am not a big fan of heim joints. While they do allow much more movement over the stock pieces they get really sloppy really fast!

I just upgraded mine to the Edelbrock Trailing arms. My OEM ones where making noises and I found that the bushing on the driver's side trailing arm had popped out and the hole gone oval. So my new arms are a welcome upgrade both in strength and stability. I prefer the Edelbrock design since it uses a Polyurethane bushing on the truck end and a double wide heim on the axle end where more freedom of movement is required.

I made a set of trailing arms for my H2 but haven't had a chance to powdercoat or paint them or buy the heim misalignment spacers. The spacers cost $50 and I have $300+ into the arms. The arms are made from 2" Dom tubing with 1/4" wall and have 1-1/4" Heim joints.



I am looking for best offer or will trade for a welder. Others have paid $500+ for arms like this.

these may be nice, but, what is going to take the shock loads??the bolts??or the mounts??

Sorry but that's my 2 cents worth.

Actually that is another point that I had considered...with no flexible mounting aka the poly bushing there will be nothing to isolate the passenger compartment from the noise and vibration that will originate from the rear diff.
