Hey I'm going to put these things on myself and was just wondering if anybody had anything to help me in the job? Anything I should look out for or keep in mind? Instructions would be nice guys! (M2)

 

VERY easy to install. One thing that got me confused was that these trailing arms are a little longer than the stock ones. However, that's how they're meant to be (I confirmed with M2).

- Jack up the car, one corner at a time, or the whole rear (jack up under the diff).

- Remove a stock trailing arm; you may need some force here - both of the stock bolts are usually tight and get kinda locked in over the years....

- Move the suspension back a hair (you can do that, with the trailing arm off!) to make the new unit line up properly.

- Reinstall both bolts.

- Get the car aligned once you're done; Pettit has good street and track specs listed on their site.

Additional suggestion: Throw some anti-seize compound on the small metal bits that sit inside the heim joint.

Good luck - this is one of the easiest mods for the car!

 

Great thanks! Thats pretty much what I thought the deal was. One thing however what side do the longer bushings point to? In or out?

 

I don't think it makes a difference. However, I have mine so that the trailing arm is farther in - more clearance for a bigger rim/tire in the back, if I go with a bigger-than-stock size.

 

hey let me know how you like them (pros and cons if any) i was thinkin about gettin a set.
