Uh, it may not be over yet. If one of your trailing arm bolts were loose enough to make noise, then I strongly recommend replacing them. I'm in the process of replacing mine now. (Well, I stopped for a few days out of frustration.) Because my passenger bolt was a little loose, it pivoted in the wrong place and scored up a washer. Mine wasn't loose enough to lose any shims, but if yours was making noise, then you should check your rear alignment. All the cars that I have seen have 4 shims on the passenger side and 3 on the driver's side. I'm suspicious that the factory used this as a formula and never checked the alignment otherwise. Oh, by the way, both of my OEM bolts are bent. Did you check yours? Twirl them around and see. The passenger side was hard to get out for this reason, and I might have to cut the driver's side out if it is too bent to slide out. With an automatic tranny in the way, there isn't much room to work on it.
