Just put in some M2 Trailing Arms.



I notice that the threaded pivot at one end is adjustable. Any advice from anyone on how these are to be adjusted?



Turn them till they're tight? If do they need to be adjusted when the car is back on the wheels?



Thanks,



John

Yes weight should be on the wheels when tightening any suspension component. Otherwise it will bind once weight is put on it, and will wear out prematurely

Well... I know that is true for rubber suspension bushing... but all this does is adjust the length of the trailing arm.

I would still torque it with weight on it. As for adjusting it whatever is easier, I guess. I haven't put mine on yet.
