I need installation help on 914rubber's trailing arm reinforcement kit, Can't find instructions anywhere Options

[Nein For Teens]

Hi Everyone.

A year or so back, I bought a trailing arm installation kit from 914 Rubber (formerly offered by Middlemotor, llc). They still offer it: https://914rubber.com/trailing-arm-suspension-gusset-set. The kits (one per side) did not come with any installation instructions. Try as I might, I cannot figure out how the pieces go together, nor can I find any help online. Has anyone installed/welded this these on? I called 914 Rubber, but while they are usually super helpful, they could not offer any insights on this particular product.

Thanks, Chris

Hi Chris, These are not for the trailing arms themselves. These plates are tying the inner rear suspension console to the outer one. They need to be shaped (a lot) to properly fit.

Here you can see how I removed mine. There are two per side as there are two "beams" for lack of better description. The braces are bridging the two consoles over the flange joint from the longitudinal two halves.

Here is the longer one:




And the shorter one (the longer one still installed, reverse photo sequence):




I believe the 914Rubber kit is providing the long one in two longitudinal halves.

Hope this helps.

Good luck! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)
