Anyone have any experience with these folks? I bought a set of rebuildt trailing arms from Top Flight Automotive and it appears they are being drop shipped form here. Just doing my homework in the wrong order....that's what you get for being impulsive!

Why not deal directly with a rebuilder? They can tell you how they build them and what is done to them vs a cookie cutter build thru a 3rd party. This is not a solicitation on my part, just a common question I am asked time to time.

Understand. And fully agree.

It was an impulsive purchase incentivized by Top Flight's heavy Labor Day percentage off. I'm not saying I made a bad purchase but they are being delivered tomorrow and I now know where from.

I did some comparison shopping for the Van Steel trailing arms w/rotors and Top Flight had the best deal...Even better than directly from Van Steel...

I got rebuilt trailing arms directly from Mullikin's. Very satisfied with them. Mullikin's is located in upstate South Carolina (near Greenville) and they are an excellent source of used/recycled parts and some rebuilt components. Good people.

Yes, know them well...Used them for other restorations when I lived in Clearwater right down the street from them...Saved a lot on shipping!
Maybe you missed post #6...
Top Flight sale price was cheaper than buying directly from Van Steel...
