Trailing Arm PN diff from base to R1...
Hello-
I was looking at my '93 microfiche (from iluvmyrx7.com) and found that the trailing arms for the rear suspension have two different part numbers: one for "normal" and one for "hard" suspension. What the heck is the difference? Is there any difference at all?
Thanks!
Take care,
Shad

Hello-
Yes, I know that.
My question is what is the difference between a touring/base trailing arm and an R1 trailing arm? I *thought* they were identical...

I'm gonna bet it's the bushing used. The arm itself should be that same, as the geometry didn't change. If I recall, to change that bushing, you usually have to replace the whole arm unless you go with aftermarket stuff, right?

Hello-
You're correct... but the next step of logic is what's confusing me... the base/touring and R1 bushings are different?
I called a dealership. The parts have the same price. But, of course, the parts guy didn't know much else. <shrug>

Shad, BTW, you want to get together sometime and check out cars?
