 Posted: Tue Jun 07, 2011 11:26 pm Post subject: Unknown 3X3 Trailing Arms Please Help |
 |
|
I got a set of 3X3 trailing arms with the purchase of my frame. Someone cut out the ends and welded in an unknown housing. Here are some pics. If anyone could help me find out what thay are out of that would be great. 
The small hole in the middle is left over from the original housing plate.

Those might be for "micro stub" stub axles, I think they start off as Chevy S-10 parts but I dont know alot about them. Some body should chime in soon.

I wouldn't spend too much time trying to figure out what someone else created. Focus on replaceing the unknown with the proper flange. www.tabzone.com look in their catalog and get the correct flange for your bearing housing.

Thanks for the info.
I'm not in a hurry and have limited cash so i'm trying to use what I have.
If all else fails I'll pick up the flanges from the company you suggested.
Thanks

those are set up for micro stub.If you got to buy all new parts for the rear then go with these.If you already have all the rear parts then buy some other arms set up for VW.
You can get more travel out of the micro stub too which is an advantage.

What micro stub housing would bolt to these arms?
No parts yet. Need to figure out what kind of bearing housing bolts to them and what kind of stub axles I need then I can start to put the rear end together.

Finally! I got ahold of a guy who called a guy and talked to the PO!
The only info I could get is that the flange is off the front of a 4x4 nissan. Wooo Hooo! Now I need to figure out how to use it.
