Default Trailing arm weight??

Anybody know what a pair of bare trailing arms weigh? I"m looking to buy some used sets and need to factor in the shipping.

btw.. anyone wanting to sell their used ones.. drop me a line with the price you want.


Thanks!!
:cheers:

They're not that heavy, I could weigh a pair if you want, don't know when I'll have time.

If I remember correctly, mine were about 65 lbs each without the brake rotor. With the rotor they were about 80 lbs.

65lbs each? wow, that seems a bit heavy... but seeing as I haven't removed mine.. that could be. :confused:

I'm looking for about 6 sets if possible...

do you mean the complete assembly or just the bare arm? The assembly indeed is heavy.

No, just the bard arms.. bushings or not shouldn't make any significant difference. I just need the arms themselves. I'm going to be cutting them up a bit, then re-working them, and strengthing them a ton.

But I'm just looking for bare used arms.

Thanks!

thanks for the facts Van! :hurray:

Good guessing TT!! :D

I didn't figure they were very heavy... now when I get done with them, they will be a tad more.. maybe 13-15lbs each.. but will support any power you want to toss at it! :thumbs:

Can we say BLOWN..... I knew you could... hehehe :reddevil
