Re: Replacing trailing arm bolts

[jtrealty@xxxx]

Count the washers and replace EXACTLY.If the bolts are bent you have 
to slice them up to remove. Torque the bolts with weight on the 
suspension otherwise you are preloading the bushings. If automatic 
loosen left side trailing arm at rear carrier but don't disconnect 
brake line.
