In order to receive full credit back on cores, your core MUST BE reuseable. If any of your parts are bad, it will be deducted from your core refund. Here's a breakdown of what will be deducted if it's bad.

Bad T-arm - $100. if it's bent, not twisted, and we can repair it than it will be $40.

Bad Spindle - $100

Bad Bearing Support - $120

Bad Caliper Mount Bracket - $75. If we can repair than it will be $40. If the threads are stripped or the bracket is bent and we can fix it than it's considered repairable. If the brakcet is broken or your bolt holes are elongated to where we can not put a heli coil in it than it's bad and you will lose $75.

Of course you will receive FREE SHIPPING on all orders. Note that all complete assemblies are coming w/brand new spindles and rotors.

Is there a time limit on core returns?

Van Steel

normally it's 1 month but I am wiling to work w/you if need be.

TedH

I don't see a price for Bare 'standard' Trailing Arms... Am NOT interested in poly or off-set but I do need to replace the bushings on mine and don't mind going ahead and just replacing the arms. If available, would they come with the four bolts to mount the bearing assemblies?

NHvette

I have cores from about 5 years back ... ????

Don't worry, I don't wanna return them. Spare parts ... or maybe 4 sale some day.

NHvette

Hey Ted ... lots in there, you missed it.

:iagree: and I'm not far from you. I'm off 49th St

Please pardon my ignorance but what is a double offset T-arm?

88'Cubka

I was wondering the same. How wide of a wheel can you run in the back with the double offset? (I have near brand new heavy duty trailing arms on mine, but when i want to goto a wider wheel I will most likely go for offsets or double offsets if they are worth the extra 20 bucks :) )

hermit

:iagree: I was also wondering what the difference between offset and double offset is.

Van Steel

Double offsets are pretty much the same as single offsets except you will need a 1" shorten spring. Most of the time when someone is running a double offset they are notching the frame to run a much wider rim and tire and they are more than likely drag racing. For street use just go w/a single offset and you'll be OK.

How about a package deal with off-set T/A's, coilovers and a larger swaybar for the front, smart struts for the rear.

I already ordered a TRW 315 spring for the back and I have a stock bushing set for the front A-arms. I'm not sure what else I need though.

I guess I could do without the struts for right now. Oh, I think I would need shocks for the back too. :)

You have an IM

Mark me down for a pair of bare single offset t-arms please.

Thanks

Van Steel

love to drive-
will do.

Van Steel

Also w/the double offsets, the spring bolt holes are 1" closer toward the rear.

I have a set of your offset arms in my car now.When I put them in the bushing hole the bolt goes thru seems that the hole is bigger than the bolt.Is there a sleeve that is supposed to be in there,ever since then i now have wheel hop badly.I also have the traction bar but it didn't make a difference.If I'm missing something do you sell the sleeves???? Or is it the poly bushings that are too hard maybe the rubber one absorb the shock the better when launching???

Dan,

Thanks for coming through for us. I need the complete T-Arm assemblies for both sides, no offset.

Questions:

Any idea how much shipping the cores back will cost? I assume we just re-use your packaging.

I have poly bushings from VBP that came with their performance plus package. Would you install those if I sent them to you first?

What's your turn around time?

How do I proceed with the order? :cheers:

I am still a little bit new at all this stuff... So please bare with my questions.

I am interested in this deal since I am planning on redoing my suspension before the spring.

I am looking at your Front and Rear Poly Super Kit and I got a set of KYB Gas-A-Just shocks for Christmas.

So the question is...
Are the Complete T-Arm Assemblies complete replacements (i.e. I just take mine out, and put yours in...) Mine have some pretty good squeaks, and I don't think I have the skill to actually rebuild them my self?

Also I remember talking to somebody at your office, and they said if I got the Poly kit at the same time you could put the poly stuff on for me.

I am also wondering about the length of time to send you the cores. Mine are still on my car... :-) but I don't think I want to let this group purchase pass. It is finally one that I can make use of.

Thanks in advance.

chris.
