PFADT rear trailing arm install question - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I put it in and it seems almost to short, not I can't get the rear control arm bolted back up, any ideas?

you may have to pull the bolts out of one of the other connections to allow proper geometry to get the new arm back in.

I can get it all hooked back up kind of, it pulls the lower control arm way up, then the shock won't fit back in. I either need to loosen something to let it drop back down, I installed it wrong (Not sure how) or it's to short.

take a block of wood and place it on your jack and then lift the spindle just a bit from a safe spot.
