Title: Trailing Arm Slop
Post by: mike on November 04, 2005, 09:48:19 AM
Hey guys,

I'm just fitting my trailing arms into my new narrowed K/L beam with needle bearings and they don't fit quite snug. When fully inserted, the arm has play in it when moving the arm vertically. These arms originally came out of a micarta bearing beam. Are there two different types of trialing arms for each type of bearing?
