Trailing arms vs. control arms

[StG58]

You have 1-1/4" lift roughly? I would get a set of all 8 factory style arms and call it good for another 20+ years.

What's the currently recommended source for said arms?

Are there more? Which one's would you guys recommend?

RockAuto sells a number of styles of OEM control arms. Moog, ACDelco, Mopar, among others are all good.

Make sure that when you install them, you install the bolts barely snug when on the lift, and then tighten them once the vehicle is back on the wheels. This applies to any bushing, not just the control arms. Effectively, you need to set the bushing to have zero preload at ride height.

Thank you for that hint. I ordered the Acdelco ones after some googling. A lot cheaper than in Australia, even including shipping. I should have known, I bought oxygen sensors a few years back, two for ~45 bucks. They are 750 bucks each in Australia...
