    Default worth replacing rear upper trailing arms

    hey guys i was recently under my car just checking out all the suspension bits cos i havnt checked it all out in a while and noticed that my upper rear trailing arm bushes were all f***ed. ive had a look around and i can either get them replaced by pedders for about $180 or if i could do them myself it'll probably only cost me something like $100 or so in parts. my question is are they really worth doing, will the car handle noticeably better afterwards? also any ideas how hard it is to do by yourself? cheers

    yes if they are shot they are worth replacing. if u have access to a press they aren't hard to swap out. just take it easy and keep an eye out in case the trailing arm starts distorting under pressure

    I got complete new units (Superpro) which saved stuffing around for $220 bucks fitted. For piece of mind I was happy to pay. Better solve the damn knock.
