[DML] Re: Symptoms of bad TA bolts

[tobyp@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

List - We had a local member who had just such an occurrence with a 
trailing arm bolt totally seized in the trailing arm.  No amount of 
available force would dislodge it.  He finally took the trailing arm 
to a machine shop, and had the bolt bored out.  Needless to say, the 
car now sports a shiny set of TOBY-TAB's.  This method may be the 
only solution for this particular problem of the "humbled 40 ton 
press".

the little bolt.) I may soak it in penetrant for a year or two then 
try again. ;)
