Aftermarket Rear Trailing Arms?
Does anyone know of a company that makes an aftermarket rear trailing arm for the EVO that uses spherical bearings??

Thanks!!

are you looking for more clearance or just looking for the same geometry with sphericals in it?

it's pretty damn easy to make spherical bearing holders to fit in the stock trailing arm.

Both. I thought about grinding some of the stocker away, but decided it probably is not good to guess how much I can reduce the structural integrity of the stock part. . .

I am mainly looking for something with more "curve" to it to give some more inboard clearance rather than increasing the track and messing with my fenders again. . . sperical bearings will just be an added bonus. . .

You can buy the R/T chromoly ones through Robi now. But Eric is also in process of designing aluminum versions.
