Re: New rear trailing arms in Europe - any opinions?

Good looking trailing arm except that the universal design means that there will
be a bump stop underneath each trailing arm which might look a little
unusual....

I'm interested in the "heavy duty lower ball joints" I wonder what makes them
stronger..


With larger tirer the lower ball joints seem to be the weakest link

shot at. Also, the rear shock mount is removable, which means you could get a
custom one made and easily put it on without wielding.
