77-82 Trailing Arm Rebuild Service

Zip's in-house rebuilding service includes a complete disassembly and inspection of all components. This is where you gain confidence with Zip - because we won't rebuild a trailing arm assembly that doesn't meet factory specifications. Trailing arms are checked for rust and scale, spindles are verified for correct bearing surfaces, twisting and thread damage and bearing supports and caliper mount brackets are checked for cracks. This inspection ensures the integrity of the parts used to rebuild your trailing arm assembly.

Our own skilled technicians then clean all components, powder coat the trailing arm and correctly install a new trailing arm bushing. The wheel bearing assembly set-up to GM specifications with all new Timken wheel bearings, inner & outer bearing seals, spindle shim and spacer. Assembly is completed with a new bearing dust shield, park brake back-plate (gold), park brake shoes and stainless park brake hardware. Park brake components are adjusted to the new disc brake rotor. Our new rotors guarantee run-out is kept to within correct tolerances.

Note:This is a rebuild service and can not be ordered without first sending your Corvette's original differential in for rebuild. Zip also has trailing arms available for outright purchase, both new and rebuilt assemblies. See Zip Corvette # SU-567 or SU-844 for more information.

Trailing arm and wheel bearing assemblies must be rebuildable. All wheel bearing assemblies will be checked for rebuildable components and a charge will incur for any components such as bearing support, caliper mount bracket, spindle or spindle flange that must be replaced..
