rear trailing arms s3

[steve wilton AM]

hi ive had one side of the rear trailing arm split with rust,its the tube section nearest the wheel fits near the drum brake and fits on to chasis with rubber bushing .can a new rear section be bought if so where and how much? if its to be welded and spliced with new tube i still would need new bush as the old one could melt during weld,its in a bad spot as its around 1" from the bushing .any thoughts

He'll repair the old one on a jig and I believe rebush it as well

All you have to do is remove and refit

Yeah, like that's the easy bit!

Details of how to do that are here, and in the TVR club magazine a couple of months ago:
