Is the number right?

I just got my trailing arms in the mail and went to check the part number and something was different. Can any one help me??

Part # 951.331.514.4R

Yep, thats the correct number. That should be your right side trailing arm.

Here is a little tip I just figured out.

When running the aluminum trailing arms you can use a socket to set the toe to about zero so the drive to the alignment shop will be a little safer.

I used a 16mm socket and a 3/8" drive extension.

Place the extension through the rear of the spring plate and then attach the 16mm socket. When you pull the socket back into the trailing arm it will center the adjustment giving you zero toe. Then tighten up all the hardware and you're set to drive to the alignment shop. Oh yea, remove the socket and extension.
