As the title says, are the Rear trailing arms thing specific, if not, what other modle will fit? My axle shaft is welded to the inside of the rear trailing arm, and I am not able to get it apart. Ive got new axles, just need a trailing arm.
Thanks

Thing TAs are unique to the Thing. However, Beetle TAs will fit.
The shock mount and rubber snubber mount are the differences. If your TA is truly no good, you could take a Beetle TA and swap those 2 brackets on as long as you can weld.
