Questions & Answers
It has two trailing arms and they are mirror images of one another. Whether you are doing it yourself or having a mechanic do it for you, make sure you get more clearance for your tires when you install these It is for this reason that the central tube is offset. The knucklehead who installed them in the wrong way left me with very little clearance between the OEM tires and the wheels. Oh, and removing the old ones is going to be a pain in the rear. It should be done by a shop. A torch, a sledge hammer, and a large impact gun helped get the mine off during a three-man team effort.

As part of the rear suspension of your car, this bar replaces the trailing arm. Although I'm not sure if you'd call it the steering knuckle or not, it definitely sits at the bottom of the assembly that holds the rear hub on. A little pain can be involved in removing the old ones. Three guys used a huge crowbar and a hammer of a massive size to accomplish my job professionally.

The item is made in Taiwan and looks great. I found it to be the perfect fit. As a matter of fact, this part seems to be much stronger than the OEM, which is a U-shaped component A solid bar instead of a stamped shape is used on this part. I gave it a 4- only because I sat on one leg while I sat on the other One point off for "Easy To Install" is that I had some original parts that were rusted and I had to use penetrating lubricant, heat, and a very big hammer to remove the front arm bolt. The whole thing can easily be taken apart replacing this particular component isn't that difficult, but don't expect it to take you half an.
This is a far better quality product than OEM stamped steel parts. The Chevrolet Impala my son drives is a 2000 model. As a result of improperly using them as jacking points, they were bent and distorted. This rod is made of solid steel. There are no complicated steps involved in installing the application. We replaced the struts and then took the car in for an alignment at the same time. As you adjust the rear suspension, get the wheels aligned. Since the rear camber can be adjusted, it is a good idea. Voici a tip It is your responsibility to install the camber bolts. You can buy them for around $20 but a repair shop will charge you about 10X the price.
My 2007 Impala was missing several rusting fender emblems, so I bought these replacements. The stock ones are sheet metal stamped into the shape of a U, so I was hoping they would be more sturdy than the stock ones. The pipes are square, however they have a smaller diameter than square tubing, and as a result the pipes flex more than square tubing.
For my 1998 Grand Prix GTP, I got a pair of these. GM W -- if you're familiar If you live in New England like I do, then you know that suspension parts rot out on these quite easily. These are the same size and fit as the OEM versions, and they do not have the U shape groove In the event that this needs to be replaced, you might want to replace the bracket on the body as well since it is likely to be rotted out. Only GM dealers carry these. As soon as I had all the tools and parts, I was able to do the fix in my driveway within a few hours.
Receiving the bar within a timely manner is crucial. I picked up my car a week and a half ago and the bushing popped out of the bar, which is not good while you're driving. I ordered a bar online to replace the one that I bought locally, but the bar I received was different than the one I purchased locally. On the one I bought in town, it said "Dorman," while on the one I bought online, it In addition, there were some differences between welds and the bar in its own right. Due to that, I have returned the item.
A 2012 Chevy Impala was fitted with this part. It is a direct replacement for the original part. This is an easy to install package. Get the vehicle inspected and then put 800 miles on it right away. The issue has not arisen.
I was blown away that a Chinese made part was of much better quality than the original part that came with my car. If you do order the part ordering the trailing arm bracket is recommended, you can buy them both as a set from Dorman. You will have to replace it.
In fact, it is an OEM version of the driver Steel was shaped in this way.
