spring loaded trailing arm
has anyone ever tried a spring loaded trailing arm.. seen it on e-bay heres what it describe made spring loaded adjustable rear lower trailing arm that fits ALL 78-87 G body GM cars(monte carlo, cutlass, 442, regal, el camino, grand prix, etc.). This is stock dimensions as is and the spring loaded portion allows it to flex up to 1in. shorter. I used this style arm on the left rear of my IMCA hobby stock car so the rear differential would pivot and the wheelbase would become about an inch shorter to help the car corner faster and smoother(worked soo well that at times it was pulling the left front wheel off the ground up to a foot high). There is an adjustment inside the arm to preload the spring so you can control how much and when the arm starts to move. In my past experience after I found the right setpoint for the preload of the spring I "boxed in" the lower portion by welding a piece of flat steel on the bottom so it made the arm stronger and hid the "goods" inside the arm. When installed I had the spring loaded portion of the arm facing forward on the car and the mounting point on the car frame hid the spring loaded portion of the arm from sight of the techs and others. This is a MUST HAVE for anybody running G body racecar chasis' that use stock trailing arms if they want the extra advantages that others don't have. Anybody who has been around dirt oval track racing knows that setup/handling through the corners is KEY to winning races and this arm gives a huge advantage over the competitors ;)
