I think he is asking for actual dimensions, for maybe building his own... I'd like to have the same thing for my AutoCAD project... does anybody have the dimentions of the stock arms? like a blueprint, as many measurements as possible.

like what are the actual inches of a Stock X Stock arm???? 14" back from torsion and 14"out from pivot???? :? then you add you 3x3 or 2x3 from there making it 17x17 all together.

That is what i am looking GhiaBateman, the actual dimensions of stock trailing arms. I bought a set off of CL list but the guy did not know what size they are and I am trying to find out what they are.

Josh,
Post the pics... or take take a measurement from the pivot to the hub carrier and I'm sure someone will be able to tell you, make sure you explain each point of where you took the measurement(s)

wish I could help but I'm looking for the same thing...

I know this is an old post.
Does anybody have some dimension of stock trailing arms?

16.5" back from center of torsion housing to center of axle. Viewed from the side. How wide, I'm not totally sure where to give the best measurement.

Thanks, Its a start.
I work in a fab shop and I'm thinking about building my own.
I would like to build and fixture the new arms without pulling the stock arms off my buggy. It looks like the only way to get all of the info. to do this is to take the arms off my buggy.
I was hopping that some one had a print or knew of a web site with this info.
I guess their are no easy way to do this besides buying them.
Thank you for your help anyway.
